Charizard ex (sv3-228 Holofoil) is a Darkness-type Stage 2 Pokémon ex from the Obsidian Flames expansion. It has the Infernal Reign Ability that lets you attach up to three Basic Fire Energy from your deck when you evolve it, and an attack, Burning Darkness, that increases damage by 30 for each Prize your opponent has taken. As a Pokémon ex with Tera, it carries the ex knockout penalty and a Tera-backed Bench damage prevention effect that modifies how it interacts in play.
