Card 124Phantasmal Flames #124 Pokémon Card

Ignition Energy is a special energy card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, rather than a Pokémon itself. As such, it doesn't have Pokédex lore, a natural habitat, diet, or behavior in the traditional sense. Energy cards are fundamental components of the game, representing the power source Pokémon need to use their attacks. Special Energy cards, like Ignition Energy, offer effects beyond simply providing a single type of energy. They were introduced early in the game's history to add strategic depth and have evolved with each generation of the TCG. While not a creature, the concept of energy is central to the Pokémon universe, powering everything from attacks to technological devices. Different types of energy correspond to the various Pokémon types, and special energy cards often play a crucial role in enabling specific deck archetypes or strategies. The design of energy cards often reflects the elemental power they represent, with Ignition Energy's art suggesting a burst of fiery, explosive power.
