What it does
Turn 1 of your face-down Prize cards face up. If it's a Fire Energy card, this attack does 50 more damage. (That Prize card remains face up for the rest of the game.)
Discard any number of Fire Energy cards from your hand. This attack does 50 damage for each card you discarded in this way.
It slithers toward people. Then, without warning, it triggers the explosion of its own head. It's apparently one kind of Ultra Beast.

Where it came from
Blacephalon was introduced to the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the Unbroken Bonds expansion, released in May 2019. As an Ultra Beast originating from the Alola region, this Fire-type card was designed to capitalize on the character's whimsical yet unsettling aesthetic, characterized by its firework-like head and peculiar, spindly physiology. The illustration, handled by illustrator kirisAki, captures the creature's explosive nature through vibrant colors and dynamic, sweeping lines that mirror the chaotic energy found in the source material.
Within the competitive landscape of the time, the card was integrated into decks focusing on fire-type energy acceleration. Its design reflects the broader aesthetic direction of the Sun & Moon era, which emphasized distinct, character-focused artwork for Ultra Beasts. The card was well-received by players and collectors alike, valued both for its striking visual appeal and its specific role in the evolving metagame of the late 2010s.
