    Thats a pretty interesting pokepower considering that it hasnt to throw any coin.

    But… Why did team rocket even had their own Moltres? xD

      Same reason as Cipher had one, I guess.

        Seems like the Rockets were able to nab a Zapdos and a Moltres but never got their hands on an Articuno.

    It looks like it’s holding something or is looking at a watch to see if it’s late.

    · DRX Ho-Oh EX has an Ability with the same name as this card’s Pokémon Power. This is true even for the JP edition, as both share the name ふしちょう there. This is in spite of having completely different effects, but is not unexpected, as the BW era ‘rebooted’ a lot of attack names and functionalities, especially if they had gone unused for extended periods of time.
    · Some of the PCG-era Rocket’s Pokémon-ex try to have something of a passing resemblance if they happen to have a namesake from a prior era, but Rocket’s Moltres 𝒆𝒙 has nothing in common with this card.
    · This Sugimori artwork of Moltres had already been used on a special phone card variant print of Fossil Moltres. Reusing art like this wasn’t typical for the time, and I imagine it was only done because the phone card wouldn’t have been tournament legal. https://pokumon.com/card/moltres-tropical-mega-battleregional-kamex-mega-battlechallenge-road-19981999-unnumbered/
