Charizard 3/132 · Secret Wonders

Charizard is Pokédex #006, generation 1 (Kanto). Charizard is a Stage 2 Fire Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level 55. The card says it evolves from Charmeleon. In this catalog that name is Charmeleon (#005).

Charizard sits at 3/132 in Secret Wonders, position 3 of 132. Before it is 2 Blastoise, and after it is 4 Entei. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 November 2007. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Fury Blaze is listed as Poké-Body. If your opponent has 3 or less Prize cards left, each of Charizard's attacks does 50 more damage to the Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Blast Burn lists 120 damage. The cost is Fire, Fire, Fire, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, discard 2 Energy cards attached to Charizard. If tails, discard 4 Energy cards attached to Charizard. (If you can't, this attack does nothing.) Weakness is Water +40. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It is said that CHARIZARD's fire burns hotter if it has experienced harsh battles."

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 lists 120 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. 106 other cards of Charizard list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Daisuke Ito. I count 47 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Secret Wonders set binder is where a full Secret Wonders 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. I still need this card.
