Charizard G LV.X is a Level-Up SP Fire Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level X. In the Pokédex this is Charizard (#006), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Charizard G. In this catalog that name is Charizard (#006).

Wataru Kawahara illustrated this card. The same name is on 35 other cards in the catalog.

Charizard (#006) has 106 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 50 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Charizard 4/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Charizard, while this one is Charizard G LV.X. Both list 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Wataru Kawahara illustrated this one. 94 other cards of Charizard list a different HP.

Call for Power is listed as Poké-Power. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move an Energy attached to 1 of your Pokémon to Charizard G. This power can't be used if Charizard G is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Malevolent Fire lists 150 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If tails, discard all Energy attached to Charizard G. Weakness is Water ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: Put this card onto your Active Charizard G. Charizard G LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

I keep a set binder for DP Black Star Promos, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the DP Black Star Promos set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Charizard can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are All Charizard cards. I still need this card.
