Charmeleon 2/70 · Dragon Majesty

Charmeleon is Pokédex #005, generation 1 (Kanto). Charmeleon is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Charmander. In this catalog that name is Charmander (#004). The card lists Charizard, Charizard (#006) under evolves to.

Charmeleon sits at 2/70 in Dragon Majesty, position 2 of 80. Before it is 1 Charmander, and after it is 3 Charizard. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on September 7, 2018. The printed size is 70. This checklist is longer, at 80 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Burning Fighter is listed as Ability. When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may discard the top 5 cards of your deck. If any of those cards are Fire Energy cards, attach them to this Pokémon. The attack Flamethrower lists 80 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Colorless. Discard an Energy from this Pokémon. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "When it swings its burning tail, it elevates the air temperature to unbearably high levels."

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). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and kodama illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 25 other cards of Charmeleon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kodama. I count 86 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon Majesty set binder is where a full Dragon Majesty set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Charmeleon can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
