Pokemon Card of the Day!

INFERNAPE LV X FROM DP

Today's card of the day is Infernape Lv X from the DP set. This card is a Fire type and has a max of 120HP which is normal for Lv X cards. First up is the ability, which is Burning Head. It says; Once during your turn (before your attack), you may look at the top 3 cards of your deck, choose 1 of them, and put it into your hand. Discard the other 2 cards. This power can't be used if Infernape is affected by a Special Condition. This is a decent ability, it means you may look at the top 3 cards from your deck, choose 1 to keep in your hand, and then discard the other 2. However, you may not use this ability if Infernape is under another ability. For the attack, is Flare Up. It reads; Search your discard pile for 8 Fire energy cards, show them to your opponent, and shuffle them into your deck. (This attack does nothing if you don't have 8 Fire energy cards in your discard pile). This means in total you need 2 Fire energy cards plus 8 more from the discard pile to use the attack. If not, this does nothing. If so, it deals 150HP damage. High price to pay for a strong attack. Infernape Lv X is 3x weak against Water, with no resistance, and no retreat cost.
