This article is about a Pokémon Trading Card Game card which has not yet been officially released in English. As such, this article may contain translated Japanese terms instead of English terms.
When setting up to play, if the player's starting hand of 7 cards has Cinderace with the "Explosiveness" Ability and no Basic Pokémon, that player may choose to use Cinderace's "Explosiveness" Ability to set it up as their Active Pokémon.[1][2]
On the same note, since the player technically has no Basic Pokémon in their starting hand, they may choose to take a mulligan instead (shuffling their hand back into their deck and drawing a new starting hand, repeating until they have a Basic Pokémon in their starting hand).[1][2]
Consider the situation where a player sets up their Active Pokémon while their opponent takes a mulligan; the player may draw a card for each time the opponent does so. If the player draws into a Pokémon with the "Explosiveness" Ability from this, that player may not set it up as their Active Pokémon or replace the Active Pokémon that was already set up.[1]
