Fire-type Pokemon hit hard, though they don't usually have high HP. This makes them the glass cannons of the Pokemon TCG world .

That being said, it does feature a fair amount of monsters that have yet to be included in many sets (Pokemon from the Galar region), and an impressive number of potential Shinies.
