Gym Challenge is a set in the Gym series. It was released on October 16, 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. Blaine's Charizard is 2/132, in position 2 of 132 on this checklist. Before it is 1 Blaine's Arcanine, and after it is 3 Brock's Ninetales. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.
Blaine's Charizard is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 100 HP. The card lists level 50. In the Pokédex this is Charizard (#006), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Blaine's Charmeleon. In this catalog that name is Charmeleon (#005).
Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 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 Blaine's Charizard. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 103 other cards of Charizard list a different HP.
The attack Roaring Flames lists 20+ damage. The cost is Fire. Discard all Fire Energy cards attached to Blaine's Charizard. If all Energy cards attached to Blaine's Charizard provide 2 Fire Energy, discard all of them. This attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage for each Fire Energy discarded in this way. Flame Jet is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Fire, Fire. Flip a coin. If heads, choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 40 damage to that Pokémon. Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for this attack. (Any other effects that would happen after applying Weakness and Resistance still happen.) Weakness is Water ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 3.
I keep a set binder for Gym Challenge, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Gym Challenge 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 and Trainer's Pokémon. I still need this card.
Discard all Fire Energy cards attached to Blaine's Charizard. If all Energy cards attached to Blaine's Charizard provide 2 Fire Energy, discard all of them. This attack does 20 damage plus 20 more damage for each Fire Energy discarded in this way.
