Stormfront is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on 1 November 2008. The printed size is 100. This checklist is longer, at 106 cards. Charizard is 103/100, in position 103 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 102 Charmeleon, and after it is SH1 Drifloon. The collector number is above the printed set size of 100.

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

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

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 Rare Secret. 94 other cards of Charizard list a different HP.

Discard 2 Energy attached to Charizard. Weakness is Water ×2. Resistance is Fighting -30. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Its wings can carry this Pokémon close to an altitude of 4,600 feet. It blows out fire at very high temperatures."

I keep a set binder for Stormfront, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Stormfront set binder. 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.
