Check Out Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex and more from Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Twilight Masquerade

The Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Twilight Masquerade expansion welcomes players to Kitakami, a land where people and Pokémon live harmoniously with nature. Of course, while they might live harmoniously, you can still enjoy fierce Pokémon TCG battles! If anything, the fearsome Pokémon ex and highly useful ACE SPEC cards ensure that plenty of dramatic matches lie ahead. And as always, the artwork is also a journey in and of itself, offering a fresh perspective on some of your favorite Pokémon.

Now, let’s take a peek at some of the memorable art and cards you’ll find in the Scarlet & Violet—Twilight Masquerade expansion, officially available May 24, 2024.

Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon ex

Artist Yano Keiji created a stunning, fierce, fiery Pokémon with their vision of Ogerpon in its Hearthflame Mask. Opponents will feel the burn with its Wrathful Hearth attack that does 20 damage for each damage counter on Ogerpon. Conjure a conflagration with the Dynamic Blaze attack, which dictates that if your opponent’s Active Pokémon is an Evolution Pokémon, the attack does 140 damage on top of the standard 140 damage—a whopping 280 damage in all! The caveat is that you have to discard all Energy from Ogerpon after utilizing this tactic. Additionally, Ogerpon has defensive capabilities: as long as it’s on your Bench, it can prevent all damage done to it by attacks (both your own and those of your opponent). Like all Pokémon ex, your opponent gets to claim two Prize cards when Ogerpon is Knocked Out, but it’s well worth the sacrifice to have this smoldering Mask Pokémon at your side.
