Blaine Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This holo Blaine is one of the few Trainer cards in Gym Challenge to get a Holofoil treatment in English, giving a support card the same showcase feel collectors usually expect from big-name Pokémon holos.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which makes it feel especially authentic for a portrait of one of Kanto’s classic Gym Leaders.
In-Game
Blaine’s effect mirrors his in-game Fire specialist identity by letting you attach 2 Fire Energy to a Pokémon with Blaine in its name in a single turn, a flashy acceleration effect that feels true to his all-out style.
Set Lore
Gym Challenge released on October 16, 2000 as the seventh Pokémon TCG expansion, and the set specifically spotlighted Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, and Giovanni, putting this card right in the middle of WotC’s Gym Leader era.
Cultural Impact
Blaine’s nickname in the games is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master," and his legend gets even cooler when you learn a Moltres once guided him out of a freezing mountain range, inspiring his devotion to Fire-type Pokémon.
