Charizard δ 4/100 · Crystal Guardians

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

Charizard δ sits at 4/100 in Crystal Guardians, position 4 of 100. Before it is 3 Camerupt, and after it is 5 Dugtrio. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on 1 August 2006. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Peal of Thunder is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn, when you play Charizard from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may look at the top 5 cards of your deck, choose as many Energy cards as you like, and attach them to 1 of your Pokémon. Discard the other cards. The attack Metal Burn lists 120 damage. The cost is Lightning, Metal, Metal, Colorless. Discard all Metal Energy attached to Charizard. Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: This Pokémon is both Lightning Metal type.

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 is named Charizard, while this one is Charizard δ. Both list 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 94 other cards of Charizard list a different HP.

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

Crystal Guardians set binder is where a full Crystal Guardians 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 Delta Species cards. I still need this card.
