What does Talonflame 32 do in a game?

Talonflame 32 is a Fire Pokémon card with 130 HP, printed as Stage 2.

Its strongest attack, Flare Raid, is printed at 100 damage for 2 Energy — 50 damage per Energy card.

Because of the Water weakness, any Water attack printed at 65 damage or more removes it in a single turn.

What knocks out Talonflame 32 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Of the 739 cards in the archive that can remove Talonflame 32 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 70 printed damage against a bar of 65. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

Talonflame 32 is one print of Talonflame. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

What has to be in play before Talonflame 32 can be?

Talonflame evolves from Fletchinder, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (150 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Talonflame print, and can the older ones still be played?

16 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Talonflame 32 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

  • Its hardest attack, Flare Raid, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 50 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs no Energy at all.
  • It cannot start the game in play — Fletchinder has to be on the field first.

What actually removes it

  • A Water attack printed at 65 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 130 HP.
  • 741 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 2,745 cards in one attack.

Talonflame 32 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Talonflame 32?

Talonflame 32 has 130 HP and a Water weakness at ×2, so a Water attack printed at 65 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 130.

What is the strongest attack on Talonflame 32?

Flare Raid, printed at 100 damage for 2 Energy — 50 damage per Energy card. Discard an Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

What is the retreat cost of Talonflame 32?

None. Talonflame 32 carries a printed retreat cost of zero, so it can move out of the active spot without discarding any Energy. The once-a-turn limit on retreating still applies.

Can an older Talonflame print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 16 prints listed on this page, 3 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Talonflame evolve from?

Fletchinder. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Talonflame 32 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Talonflame 32 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
