    I still use this guy, he’s only got better because he now evolves too! His Smokescreen is good because it doesn’t just prevent attacks done to Magmar but prevents any attack so you can stall your opponents set-up.
    Probably the 2nd best Magmar after the Team Rocket Returns one, though this one made more of an impact during its time in Modified.

       I’m a bit confused what you’re getting at here. A Scyther with Defneder?

          I forgot about that. PlusPower has changed so much that its easy to forget how it used to work.

    This was one of the best fire basics of the original TCG.

      Despite having 20 HP less, I am finding the extra 10 damage for a single {R} that Energy Intro Set Magmar offers to be far more useful than Fossil Magmar’s Smokescreen effect – at least when playing against the NPCs in Pokémon TCG GB2. I don’t know if the trade-off is worthwhile against a real player.
