Why it's epic
The rainbow secret rare of Hoenn's sky serpent, drawn in full by PLANETA Mochizuki — one of the most recognizable chase cards of the Sword & Shield era. It plays as big as it looks: Azure Pulse trades your whole hand for three fresh cards, and Max Burst has no printed damage ceiling — every basic Fire or Lightning Energy you discard adds 80 more.
Attacks, as printed
Azure Pulse (Ability). Once during your turn, you may discard your hand and draw 3 cards.
Max Burst — 20+. You may discard any amount of basic Fire Energy or any amount of basic Lightning Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 80 more damage for each card you discarded in this way.
VMAX rule: When your Pokémon VMAX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards.
Showcase spotlight only — this card is not part of the Holo Lane collection and is never for sale here. Facts are taken from the card as printed, plus the set's established release history.
