2003 Pokemon Company EX Ruby & Sapphire (Japanese) ex Blaziken #018/ADV-P

This is the Japanese edition of Blaziken ex, a powerful Fire-type Pokémon ex card from the 2003 Pokémon TCG era, illustrated by Hikaru Koike. Blaziken ex boasts 150 HP and is a Stage 2 evolution from Combusken (Wakashamo). It features two devastating attacks: Blaze Kick (30+ damage — flip a coin; heads adds 20 more damage, tails Burns the opponent) and Fire Stream (discards two Fire Energy to deal 100 damage to one of your opponent's Pokémon). As a Pokémon ex, when it is Knocked Out, your opponent takes two Prize cards — making it a high-risk, high-reward centerpiece of any competitive Fire deck. The back displays the classic rainbow Pokéball design standard to Japanese EX-era cards. The card is stored in a protective hard case.
