Pokémon (Quilava) › Stage 1 : Evolves from Cyndaquil and into Typhlosion, Typhlosion ex, or Hisuian Typhlosion
{R}{R} → Smokescreen : 20
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent’s next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
{R}{R}{R} → Char : 30
If the Defending Pokémon doesn’t have a Char counter on it, flip a coin. If heads, put a Char counter on it. A Char counter requires your opponent to flip a coin after every turn. If tails, put 2 damage counters on the Pokémon with that Char counter. (Char counters stay on the Pokémon as long as it’s in play.)

Be careful if it turns its back during battle. It means that it will attack with the fire on its back.

Essentially the very first Burn the TCG ever had.

You beat me to it.
Still, this doesn’t count as a special condition, so it doesn’t trigger stuff that those do, can actually stack with burn, and you can’t remove it in any way. Pretty cool card, if you think about it.

Well, you can remove it by evolving, because the evolved form counts as a new Pokemon.
But benching certainly won’t remove it, so that means every turn your opponent has to flip for all their Pokemon with Char counters.

So Char is badly burned?

Wonder how balanced it would be if Poison and Burn affected benched pokemon like Char does. They’re usually very underwhelming conditions in their current state, so.

They need to bring back status effects shutting down abilities like they did Powers and Bodies. It gave them a little more use than they do now, especially because poison and burn are becoming less and less potent due to inflating HP values.
