Pokémon Trading Card Game Ethan’s Cyndaquil

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Ethan’s Cyndaquil, a variant of the beloved Fire Mouse Pokémon, as a Fire-type Basic Pokémon. The artwork by Susumu Maeya captures Cyndaquil’s timid, hunched-over posture, referencing its Pokédex behavior of shooting flames from its back when angry or surprised.

As a Basic Pokémon, Ethan’s Cyndaquil provides early offensive pressure. Its single attack, Ember (cost: one Fire Energy), deals 30 damage. However, this power comes with a cost: you must “Discard an Energy from this Pokémon.” This encourages using the attack strategically before evolving into Quilava.

Classified as a Common card (denoted by the circle symbol), it has 70 HP. It carries a Water-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a one-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. This card is the essential first step for trainers building the classic Johto starter evolution line Cyndaquil > Quilava > Typhlosion, especially within a deck themed around the trainer Ethan.
