Strategy & play

How Fletchinder plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

Inflicts Burn — 20 damage between turns, then a coin flip to clear it. Chip damage with a coin-flip tail.
Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
Fire type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥35 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
A Stage 1 — one step up from Fletchling; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Fletchinder

Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥35 damage one-shots it.
Gust it before the evolution is set up.
On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Fletchinder is real?

Fletchinder is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
