Charizard 4/102 · Base

Charizard is Pokédex #006, generation 1 (Kanto). Charizard is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 120 HP. The card lists level 76. The card says it evolves from Charmeleon. In this catalog that name is Charmeleon (#005).

Charizard sits at 4/102 in Base, position 4 of 102. Before it is 3 Chansey, and after it is 5 Clefairy. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on 9 January 1999. The printed size is 102, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Energy Burn is listed as Pokémon Power. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may turn all Energy attached to Charizard into Fire Energy for the rest of the turn. This power can't be used if Charizard is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Fire Spin lists 100 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire. Discard 2 Energy cards attached to Charizard in order to use this attack. Weakness is Water ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. Known to unintentionally cause forest fires."

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 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Charizard 4/130 in Base Set 2 (2000). Both list 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 94 other cards of Charizard list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Base set binder is where a full Base set goes. This card fills one slot there. 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 Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
