Obviously, Thyplosion is great card, though still like most fire types it has downsides as well. Burning aura is the double edged ability for thyplosion, at right times it increases it's attacks and could knock out enemis in between turns which is cool. However, don't forget damaging yourself like that can also sometimes help your opponent knock you out, which is why Energy Root has to be used here, potions and sitrus berry can also be used well here. Thyplosion can do a maximum damage of 150 and 170 when it has energy Root, which is extraordinary for non ex'x. i really like this card, I rate it 9/10 for a non ex stage 2 card.
