What it does
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
If Magby isn't anywhere under Magmortar, discard 2 Energy cards from your hand. (If you can't discard 2 Energy cards from your hand, this attack does nothing.)
It blasts fireballs of over 3,600 degrees F from the ends of its arms. It lives in volcanic craters.

Where it came from
The Magmortar card, designated as DP20 within the Diamond & Pearl Black Star Promos series, was released in late 2007 to coincide with the expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game into the fourth generation of gameplay. These promotional cards were primarily distributed through specific retail blister packs and organized play events, serving as a bridge between the core expansion sets that introduced players to the Sinnoh region's new mechanics and roster of creatures.
The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded for his dynamic and vibrant depiction of Pokémon in various action poses. Saitou’s illustration for this Magmortar emphasizes the character's formidable fire-cannon arms, utilizing bold lines and high-contrast shading that defined the aesthetic of the Diamond & Pearl era. Like other promotional releases of the time, the card was received as a functional addition to Fire-type decks, valued for its ability to integrate into competitive play strategies that prioritized heavy offensive pressure.
