Attacks
60+Flame Burst[Fire Fire Fire Fire]
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 60 damage plus 20 more damage and does 20 damage to Typhlosion. If tails, this attack does 60 damage.
Pokémon Power: Fire Recharge
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, attach a Fire Energy card from your discard pile to 1 of your Fire Pokémon. This power can't be used if Typhlosion is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
If its rage peaks, it becomes so hot that anything that touches it will instantly go up in flames.
