Magmar 39/62 Pokémon Fossil Raw

Magmar, the Spitfire Pokémon, erupts onto the scene in the 1999 Fossil expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game as card #39/62. This Fire-type Basic Pokémon boasts 70 HP and a fierce presence, depicted mid-roar with flames swirling around its body—a striking image created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. Known for dwelling near volcanic craters and being incredibly rare in the wild, Magmar brings both thematic intensity and strategic value to any deck. As a cornerstone of the Fossil set—the third expansion in the TCG’s history—this card holds a special place in the hearts of collectors and players alike.

Equipped with two potent attacks, Magmar can disrupt opponents and deal consistent damage. Its Smokescreen ability (costing one Fire energy) deals 10 damage and forces the defending Pokémon to flip a coin before attacking on the next turn—if tails, the attack fails. This can be a game-changing hindrance, especially against high-risk, high-reward moves. For heavier damage, Smog (costing two Fire energies) deals 20 damage and flips a coin; if heads, the defending Pokémon becomes Poisoned—adding ongoing damage over time. With a minimal retreat cost of just one energy and no resistances, Magmar offers flexibility and pressure, making it a solid mid-tier attacker in early-era deck strategies.
