Charizard 4/25 · Celebrations: Classic Collection

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 4/25 in Celebrations: Classic Collection, position 2 of 22. Before it is 2 Blastoise, and after it is 8 Dark Gyarados. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on 8 October 2021. The printed size is 25. This checklist is longer, at 22 cards. The listed rarity is Classic Collection.

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 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Charizard 4/102 in Base (1999). Both list 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Classic Collection. 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.

Celebrations: Classic Collection set binder is where a full Celebrations: Classic Collection 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.
