For the first time in the Pokémon TCG, you can get hold of a Shiny Ho-Oh (SL5)! With 100 HP and two fearsome attacks, Shiny Ho-Oh is an outstanding Basic Pokémon. Let Shiny Ho-Oh torch the Defending Pokémon for 100 damage with Scorching Wing, one of the most powerful attacks you’ll see coming from a Basic Pokémon. The Energy requirements are steep—3 Fire Energy and 2 Colorless Energy (and a coin flip will tell you if you have to discard all the attached Fire Energy)—but the Knock Out power of Scorching Wing is worth the effort. If you’re looking for something more lightweight but still very impressive, use Shiny Ho-Oh’s Combustion attack. The Combustion attack does only 50 damage but requires only 1 Fire Energy and 2 Colorless Energy to use. Also, there’s no risk of having to discard Energy from Shiny Ho-Oh for this one. Regardless of its attacks, Shiny Ho-Oh’s incredible artwork and unique place in the Pokémon TCG make this card a must-have!
