The Pokémon Company is giving all Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players a formidable Dark–Tera Type Charizard in honour of card expansion pack Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames’ release on August 11.
“Tera Pokémon ex are appearing as different types than usual, and a Darkness-type Charizard ex is plunging the Pokémon TCG into a pitch-black blaze!” The Pokémon Company enthuses on its website. “Witness the beauty of Terastallization with a Dark–Tera Type Charizard you can receive via Mystery Gift in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet!”
The orange dragon Charizard has previously only ever been available in Scarlet and Violet during limited-time events, but this Dark-Tera Type is particularly special in that its Type makes it unaffected by Psychic attacks or Prankster moves.
It is still, however, able to dish out some Fire-type moves you typically associate with Charizard, which it demonstrates in the Obsidian Flames trailer, released July 24. That trailer also teases Dark-Tera Type Charizard’s TCG card, which appears to list this Charizard’s ability as the Fire-type, single hit move Infernal Rage.
