Charmeleon is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 90 HP. In the Pokédex this is Charmeleon (#005), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Charmander. In this catalog that name is Charmander (#004). The card lists Charizard, Charizard (#006) under evolves to.

Akira Komayama illustrated this card. The same name is on 239 other cards in the catalog.

Charmeleon (#005) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 31 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Charmeleon 24/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 25 other cards of Charmeleon list a different HP.

The attack Call for Support lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for a Supporter card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Slash is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "My precious friend who is always with me. I have so many things I want to tell you."

I keep a set binder for Generations, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Generations set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Charmeleon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
