Attack Lava Burst (70×): Discard up to 5 {R} Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 70 damage for each card you discarded in this way.
Card Details
Character Background
Ethan’s Magcargo is a classic Fire-type pressure piece that rewards careful resource management, best suited to a combo-oriented midrange or burst aggro plan. Its “Melt Away” Ability is deceptively useful: if it has no Energy attached, it becomes free to retreat, letting you pivot it out after setting up or use it as a flexible bench-to-active transition in a pinch. The real payoff is Lava Burst, which can turn spent Fire Energy into a massive hit by discarding up to five Fire Energy for 70 damage each, threatening huge numbers when fully loaded. That makes it ideal alongside acceleration and recovery cards that can reattach Energy after the attack, such as generators that move Fire Energy from the deck or discard back into play. Deckbuilding tip: pair it with ways to loop Energy and switch between attackers, because it wants one explosive turn rather than repeated manual attachments.
