Attach 5 basic Energy cards from your discard pile to your Pokémon in any way you like. If this Pokémon has at least 1 extra Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack’s cost), your opponent’s Active Pokémon is now Burned and Confused. (You can’t use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Delphox is the only Pokemon I can think of where its stage 1 pre-evolution gets more attention in the TCG than it does. Delphox got one -EX card (not even with a full art version!) and a BREAK card and that’s it.

It’s not just a TCG thing — Braixen also got a bigger focus in the anime since Serena’s never evolved into a Delphox, and even became a playable fighter in Pokken!

Delphox may be making a comeback!! New V card coming out in Lost Origin :)
May this portends that ol’ Chesnaught may be coming back soon, too!

It would seem that Himeno elects to illustrate Charizard for the TCG exactly 10 years apart. 2009 was his first zard card.

I don’t think that was her own decision — as far as I know, illustrators get the pokemon assigned to them and rather than getting to choose for themselves.
I make this assumption based on Hitoshi Ariga’s comments about his first illustration being Misdreavus (his fave pokemon) implying it was purely coincidence: https://www.deviantart.com/hitoshiariga/art/Misdreavus-385156226
“Up until now, my involvement with the Pokémon Card Game was more peripheral and this is the first time I drew an actual card illustration. It was just an extra awesome bonus that it happened to be Misdreavus, my favorite Pokémon! It’s on the card list and everything! Really, I can’t express enough how delighted I am that my first official card in the encyclopedia is Misdreavus.”
