Charmeleon 3/12 · EX Trainer Kit 2 Minun

Charmeleon is Pokédex #005, generation 1 (Kanto). Charmeleon is a Stage 1 Fire Pokémon with 70 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 3/12 in EX Trainer Kit 2 Minun, position 3 of 12. Before it is 2 Charmander, and after it is 4 Growlithe. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on March 1, 2006. The printed size is 12, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Flare lists 30 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless. Damage Burn is another attack lists 40+ damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless, Colorless. If the Defending Pokémon already has any damage counters on it, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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 70 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 26 other cards of Charmeleon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

EX Trainer Kit 2 Minun set binder is where a full EX Trainer Kit 2 Minun 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.
