Hi there. Here is another Pokemon TCG cards post by me. The cards featured are Skeledirge, Flutter Mane and Iron Bundle.

The cards are expected to release in Japan on October 18. For the English international audience, the cards are to be released in Surging Sparks in November 2024.
Fuecoco
Here is another version of Fuecoco. Version 4 or something. They don't make Fuecoco 70 HP or under. If it were 70 HP then you can use Buddy Buddy Poffin instead of Nest Ball.
This Fuecoco's retreat cost is two and the attack is not great.
Crocalor
Crocalor is a Stage 1 Fire Pokemon that evolves from Fuecoco. It has 110 HP, three retreat cost and Water weakness. Its attack costs one Fire Energy and one Colourless Energy. The base damage of the attack is 30 with 50 more damage if you flip Heads.
Skeledirge
This new Skeledirge is a Stage 2 Fire Pokemon that evolves from Crocalor. It has 180 HP, three retreat cost, one ability and one attack.
The Unaware ability prevents all effects of attacks from the opponent's Pokemon to this Skeledirge. Flare Recital costs one Fire Energy and one Colourless Energy for its attack. The base damage is 60 with an additional 20 damage for each Benched Pokemon from you and the opponent.
Its attack is okay. You could do up to 160 damage if both opponents have 5 Benched Pokemon each.
Iron Bundle
Here is another version of Iron Bundle. This one is part of the Future type so it combos with Future cards like Iron Crown ex, Techno Radar and Future Booster Energy Capsule.
Its only attack of Gust Collision is a costly attack. It requires two Water Energy and one Colourless Energy. It does 200 damage minus 50 for each Colourless Energy in the opponent's Active Pokemon Retreat Cost.
I am not sure how this would work in practice. If the opponent has Latias ex in play which makes their Basic Pokemon has zero retreat cost then you could do max damage of 200 with this Iron Bundle.
Combining Iron Bundle with 4 Iron Crown ex gives this attack a maximum damage of 280. Hitting for 280 knockouts most Pokemon VStar and Stage 1 Pokemon ex attackers.
Flutter Mane
This second version of Flutter Mane is an Ancient type Basic Pokemon. It has one retreat cost, 90 HP, no abilities and two attacks. The first attack allows the attacker to move all damage counters from 1 of the Benched Ancient Pokemon to the opponent's Active Pokemon. It is a powerful effect but I am not sure of the likelihood of moving a lot of damage counters. This Flutter Mane is not like Cresselia where you can move damage counters to any of your opponent's Pokemon.
Moonblast is the second attack of Flutter Mane. It does 70 damage with the added effect of reducing 30 damage from opponent's attack to Flutter Mane.
Maybe 1 or 2 copies of Flutter Mane in an Ancient deck or Gardevoir ex deck. I see some potential in this card.
