Trivia

Despite the fact that Torkoal in the video games is pure Fire-type, this card is printed as Fighting-type. Like the POP Series 1 Torkoal, it's possible that the card's creator may have mistaken Torkoal for a dual-type Fire/Ground or Fire/Rock Pokémon, which are the types of two Pokémon close to it in the Hoenn Pokédex.

Origin

Ash has a Torkoal that he caught during his travels in the Hoenn region. Firebreathing is an attack that first appeared on Blaine's Magmar from Gym Heroes.
