Charizard Ex Japanese Full Art in English Charizardf Ull Art Promo Japanese

A long time ago in a trading card game expansion released far far abroad lived a burn animate Dragon known as Charizard. Now I know there has been some contend over the fact he isn't actually a dragon type, only we all know he probably should exist, that aside lets go to information technology - in this article we are going to delve into the history of Charizard cards in the Pokemon Trading Card Game taking us correct back to 1996 right the way through to the present day. Lets practise this!

Long earlier the height of Pokemania in the western hemisphere which actually blew up in nearly 1999 nosotros get back to Japan in 1996 with the release of the Japanese Base set, this my friends is where the story begins. The set released on Oct 20th of 1996... the base of operations set up included several large name Pokemon already made prominent by the videogames and the anime including Mewtwo, Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard and Raichu... all big hitters in the Pokemon universe, and then what set Charizard apart and fabricated it the most valuable?

It could exist the beautiful artwork, it could be the fire, and it could be that information technology simply looks the coolest... even so I accept another theory... of the three starter Pokemon Ash Ketchum could've chosen in Pokemon Indigo League he said he wanted a Charmander, but due to being tardily it was already taken. Later on viewers were endeared by the fact that Ash and co saved a dying Charmander who had been left on a rock out in the rain and this little Charmander would later on go possibly the most powerful Pokemon that Ash would ever own - its my opinion that this gave a bit of sentimental value to Charizard in the TCG and put him alee of the other big name cards.

So came the release of the English sets such as Base gear up and Base Gear up 2 in which Charizard was no less hotly sought afterward than his Japanese analogue card. Bank check out our full list of Charizard Cards below, with images of all of them!

The get-go Charizard card in the e-Reader series arrived in 2002 in the Expedition Base of operations set, this time with Hiromichi Sugiyama as it'south illustrator.

Cinnibar Island's gym leader Blaine entered the Pokemon TCG fray with a number of his Pokemon in the Gym Challenge ready in 2000 including this crawly Charizard. No descriptive/lore text makes me a little sad, but instead nosotros got a cool portrait of Blaine's face where that text would've gone so who tin complain right? This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori.

Charizard cards continuing through the due east-Reader and EX Series - 2002 to 2007.

Charizard 146/144 - Skyridge (e-Reader series). May 12th, 2003

Non gonna prevarication, despite its lack of descriptive text this has to be my favourite Charizard. Crystal Zard for me at least is truly in a league of its own. Thanks for this incredible art to Kouki Saitou.

Charizard 100/97 - EX Dragon. November 24th, 2003.

Mitsuhiro Arita returns as the illustrator for this action artwork of a soaring Zard cut through the nights heaven for the terminal secret rare in the EX Dragon Set.

Charizard 4/100 - EX Crystal Guardians. August 30th, 2006.

Looking rather anime, Charizard four/100 shows a Delta species Charizard with a rather healthy flame on it's tail.... Illustrated past Kouki Saitou. I have to imagine that Peal of Thunder must have been a pretty OP ability in its day.

Charizard Lv.55 3/132 from Diamond & Pearl: Cloak-and-dagger Wonders. November 1st, 2007.

Just Charizard Flexing only looking good none the less, and the card special ability Poké-Body: Fury Blaze was pretty awesome in its own correct "If your opponent has 3 or less Prize cards left, each of Charizards attacks does 50 more than damage to the active Pokemon (before applying weakness and resistance)." As great as that is, I was only happy to come across the brief reintroduction of the carte descriptive text "It is said that CHARIZARD's burn burns hotter if it has experienced harsh battles" - I'm non scientist, but I'd say the story checks out. Illustrated by Daisuke Ito.

Charizard one/99 from the Platinum: Arceus fix. Nov fourth, 2009.

Charizard was the first card (numerically) in the Platinum Arceus set, returning in a standard version and with a theme deck exclusive shatter holo version equally per our pic. Both cards were literally the same minus one beingness a shatter holo and i being a standard rare. Although the zard was sadly once once more stripped of his descriptive text he did return with another cool PokéBody power this fourth dimension in the grade of Fire Germination "Each of Charizard's attacks does ten more damage for each Fire Pokemon on your bench to your opponents active Pokemon (before applying weakness and resistance)". Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno.

Charizard 20/149 Rare Holo, Black & White Boundaries Crossed, November 7th, 2012.

This card shows Charizard hovering in the air, wreathed in flames which I can only presume were of his ain making. The cards descriptive text reads: "It is said that Charizard'due south burn burns hotter if information technology has experienced harsh battles.". Illustrated past hatachu.

Charizard 136/135, Black & White Plasma Storm, Feb sixth, 2013.

Perchance the first rendition of 'shiny' or 'alternating' Charizard on a carte, certainly to my memory.... the descriptive text reads "This extremely rare Pokemon is a different colour than usual. Information technology is very difficult to find." and credit for the illustration of this majestic and elusive zard goes to Ayoko Yoshida.

Charizard nineteen/113 Rare Holo from Legendary Treasures.

An aggressive looking Charizard takes flying and gets ready to spit fire in the Black & White series' concluding ready. "It is said that Charizard's fire burns hotter if it has experienced harsh battles" is the recycled descriptive text once again. Illustrated by TOKIYA.

"No matter what happens, if nosotros stick together, we tin become past it. Forever and ever." Illustrated by Akira Komayama.

Charizard eleven/108 Rare Holo: Evolutions, second Nov, 2016.

Similar the residual of the Evolutions set, this carte is designed to take us dorsum to the Pokemon days of old in the tardily 90's. The value of this card has risen exponentially since its release in 2016.  "Its wings can behave this Pokemon shut to an altitude of four,600 anxiety. It blows out fire at very loftier temperatures". Illustrated past Misuhiro Arita.

Charizard iii/70 Rare Holo: Dragon Majesty, September 7th, 2018.

Although Charizard has never been officially classified as a Dragon type (despite Alolan Exeggutor somehow making the class) he notwithstanding makes it into the Sun & Moon Dragon Majesty special set (special in the sense it couldn't exist bought in booster boxes and was merely bachelor in collection boxes, pin boxes etc.). "Its wings can comport this Pokemon shut to an altitude of iv,600 feet. Information technology blows out fire at very high temperatures". Illustrated by Ryota Murayama.

Left to right: Charizard fourteen/181 from Sunday & Moon Team Up, Charizard SM158 Holo Promo Menu from the Team Upwards Pre-Release, Charizard SM226 was from the Collectors Chest 2019.

Charizard fourteen/181 from Sun & Moon Team Upwardly. 1st Feb, 2019.

This card was from the Sun & Moon Team Upwards chief set, information technology'south a non holo and pretty sought after non merely the absurd artwork but besides for its ability Roaring Resolve: Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put 2 damage counters on this Pokemon, if you do, search your deck for upwards to two Fire Energy cards and attach them to this Pokemon. So, shuffle your deck. "When expelling a blast of superhot burn down, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns more intensely."

This carte du jour is from the Sun & Moon Promo series and specifically was role of the Lord's day & Moon Team Up PreRelease. The 1 in the motion picture is of the STAFF version of the card. Sharing the aforementioned descriptive text as its Team Upward main set up analogue "When expelling a blast of superhot fire, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns more intensely."

Charizard SM226 Holo Promo Card

This menu came from the Collectors Chest 2019. You may notice on the art the patterns on the Charizard, information technology's one of Mewtwo's clones, and like many bits from that particular collectors chest its a nod to Pokemon the First Moving-picture show. The box also included an Armored Mewtwo Promo. "This Pokemon was created by Mewtwo to testify that copies can be fifty-fifty more powerful than their originals."

From left to right: Charizard five/xviii from Detective Pikachu, Charizard 025/185 Shatter Holo from its namesake Vivid Voltage deck and 025/185 a Rare not-holo from Bright Voltage.

Charizard 5/xviii from the Detective Pikachu Special Movie set up, March 29th, 2019.

I was actually unsure about the style of this and the other DP cards to brainstorm with merely I realised they were crawly not long later. "When expelling a smash of superhot fire, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns more intensely."

Charizard 025/185 from the Vivid Voltage ready, Nov 13th, 2020.

And then we have the 025/185 Charizards, the non holo beingness from the principal Vivid Voltage Gear up and the Shatter Holo being from the Bright Voltage Charizard Theme Deck. "It spits fire that is hot plenty to cook boulders. It may cause forest fires by bravado flames."

In terms of both principal artwork and moveset this is a full art recycle of 13/106 however this bill of fare has the gold Japanese mode lettering and a golden accent on the card which shows information technology is the hush-hush rare version of the original.(Cheers to Sam T for this info).

One thousand Charizard EX 13/108, XY Evolutions.  November second, 2016.

The first Mega Charizard in the XY Evolutions set up recycles the artwork and moveset once again from XY Flashfire.(Thanks to Sam T for this info).

M Charizard EX 101/108 Total Fine art, XY Evolutions. November 2nd, 2016.

This is where the Charizard fine art in the XY series got existent for me. Definitely my favourite Charizard from that fourth dimension from a collectors signal of view. In terms of gameplay it was once more a replica of the same moveset as the Flashfire 1000 Charizard EX. Interestingly the concluding one of these I got was from an Evolutions pack that looked really crush up, the seal on the pack was bad etc and I didn't dare ship it out to a client, opened information technology and out came M Charizard EX which is currently off beingness graded, I'll probably never see information technology once more but its a nice idea....

From left to right: M Charizard EX 69/106, Charizard EX 108/106, Charizard EX 12/83.

Chiliad Charizard EX 69/106, XY Flashfire. May 14th, 2014.

Mega Charizard X in Flashfire sees a pause from standard orangish Charizard, and we get a dainty artwork of his aroused looking blue analogue. This card again takes that jumbo v free energy to utilise its simply attack, Wild Blaze - it hits for 300 which is extremely powerful but impractical in do... add in the added bonus of having to discard 5 cards from your deck after y'all use it and it'southward no surprise it didn't see a great bargain of play. Again, from a collector'southward perspective though very nice to see Yard Charizard X on a card. Illustrated past 5ban graphics.

Yard Charizard EX 108/106, XY Flashfire. May 14th, 2014.

In terms of both main artwork and moveset this is a total art recycle of 69/106, however this card has the aureate Japanese fashion lettering and a golden emphasis on the carte which shows it is the underground rare version of the original. (Thanks to Sam T for this info).

M Charizard EX 12/83, XY Generations. February 22nd, 2016.

Charizard GX Cards

With the conclusion of the XY series, EX cards were phased out in favor of GX cards. Which essentially were but powerful versions of the standard cards similar their predecessors except GX cards came with their own unique GX attacks which can only be used once per game. Lets take a look at the Charizard GX cards of the Sun & Moon era.

From left to correct: Charizard GX 20/147, Charizard GX 150/147 and Charizard GX SM60.

Charizard GX twenty/147, Sun & Moon: Burning Shadows. Baronial 4th, 2017.

The first Charizard GX bill of fare featured Crimson Tempest, still with the jumbo free energy price and with the setback of having to discard 3 fire energy if y'all apply Ruby-red Storm. The GX attack on this carte is Raging Out GX, like all GX attacks it can only be used once per match and has the post-obit outcome "Discard the peak ten cards of your opponents deck.". Illustrated by 5ban graphics.

Charizard GX 150/147, Sun & Moon: Called-for Shadows. August 4th, 2017.

It could exist argued that this is still the most elusive and sought after Charizard in the Sun & Moon series (yes, even over the Subconscious Fates i). Personally despite having opened an absolute load of Burning Shadows booster boxes I only ever even saw one of these cards. Information technology is a beautiful card though for sure.

Charizard GX SM60, Dominicus & Moon Promo Series. September 24th, 2017.

This full art promo arrived in the Charizard-GX Premium Collection in both a standard and jumbo size format. It features the aforementioned moveset as its GX counterparts from Burning Shadows and is essentially the missing standard full art from the Called-for Shadows set up. Illustrated by 5ban graphics.

From left to right: Charizard GX 9/68, Charizard GX SV49/SV94, Charizard GX SM211.

Charizard GX 9/68, Sun & Moon: Hidden Fates. Baronial 23rd, 2019.

Hidden Fates, what an crawly set. The standard art GX from Subconscious Fates features the Flamethrower assault which does 140 damage and takes 4 energy, and the GX Assault Flare Blitz GX which does 300 impairment and doesn't require the discard of any energy or deck cards equally in previous Charizard cards. The pictured card is actually from the Battle Academy deck where this card was re-released. Illustrated by CG Works.

Shiny Charizard GX SV49/SV94, Sun & Moon: Subconscious Fates, Shiny Vault. August 23rd, 2019.

Interestingly the Shiny Vault version of Charizard features Fly Attack, Ruby-red Storm and Raging out (deviating from the sets regular art card moveset). The virtually sought afterwards bill of fare in the Hidden Fates fix and probably the second about sought afterward card in the Lord's day & Moon serial (but after the Burning Shadows rainbow zard). Although I gauge this is a affair of stance, I opened a lot less Subconscious Fates packs than Called-for Shadows and got a off-white number of these compared to the 1 Rainbow Zard from Burning Shadows. I do personally prefer the fine art on this card to the same rainbow zard though. Illustrated by 5ban graphics.

Charizard GX SM211, Sun & Moon Series Promo. September 6th, 2019.

This promo card was released in the Hidden Fates Tins alongside Raichu and Gyarados. Information technology's a basic artwork, just its a popular card from a collectors perspective and won't exist around forever and then I'd definitely recommend grabbing one now before they stop re-releasing Subconscious Fates tins. Illustrated by CG Works.

Charizard GX SM195, Detective Pikachu SM Promo. May 10th, 2019.

A actually unique artwork promo which was released equally function of the Detective Pikachu Promo set. The bill of fare came out as both a standard sized and Jumbo sized promo in the Detective Pikachu Charizard-GX Case File. When the DP set originally came out I was a fleck skeptical nearly the look of the cards, but once I'd watched the movie (I watched it Later the sets release) I warmed to them, it'southward now 1 of my favourite sets. The flaming zard nicely represents a certain scene in the motion picture. Illustrated past Framestore.

Tag Team GX Cards featuring Charizard

The latter part of the Sunday & Moon serial introduced Tag Team GX cards whereby two Pokemon teamed up on a card to make a formidable forcefulness in the trading card game with enhanced HP and powerful attacks. Charizard found allies with fellow fire types; the legendary Reshiram and later on with Braixen. Lets cheque them out :-)

Reshiram & Charizard GX 20/214, Unbroken Bonds. May tertiary, 2019.

Charizards kickoff advent equally part of a Tag Team. With Reshiram by his side and boasting a crazy 270 HP this card quickly became a fire deck staple for TCG players in the latter part of the Sun & Moon era and even into the early Sword & Shield era. The unique artwork shows Reshiram & Charizard launching attacks next in the heat (literally) of boxing. The illustration is by Mitsuhiro Arita.

Reshiram & Charizard GX 194/214, Unbroken Bonds. May 3rd, 2019.

Reshiram & Charizard GX 194/214, Unbroken Bonds. May 3rd, 2019.

The rainbow version of Reshirard is the almost valuable bill of fare in the Unbroken Bonds ready. PSA Graded Gem Mint 10 versions of this card have been known to fetch some serious money on sale sites etc. Illustrated by CG Works.

Reshiram & Charizard GX SM201, SM Promo Series. August 22nd, 2019.

This promo is an alternative full art of the Reshirard carte du jour from Unbroken Bonds, it was released in the Reshiram & Charizard GX Figure collection alongside a rather cool mini-effigy of Reshiram & Charizard. It came in both standard and total art versions. The card was sought after past both collectors and competitive TCG players. Information technology's possibly the nicest looking Reshirard carte for me. Illustrasted by Ryota Murayama.

A while after the introduction of Tag Team GX Cards Reshiram & Charizard went their split up ways, afterward an undeniably successful campaign. Charizard forged a new partnership this fourth dimension with Braixen. This new partnership lasted three cards (to engagement) in the Sun & Moon series' final prepare; Catholic Eclipse.

Charizard & Braixen GX 22/236 Regular Fine art, Cosmic Eclipse. November 1st, 2019.

Arguably not quite the competitive staple of its Reshirard predecessor but a prissy card none the less, and past no means terrible in play.

Charizard & Braixen GX 217/236 Full Fine art, Cosmic Eclipse. Nov 1st, 2019.

As a large fan of full arts (over rainbow cards) I really like this one. Braixen riding Charizard into boxing, getting gear up to bring the FIRE to an unlucky opponent. Would really like a graded one of these. Illustrated by 5ban graphics.

Not only this but V Pokemon attained the new ability; to get VMAX (become massively bigger versions of their original Pokemon). And Charizard was never going to exist left out of the fun.

The first Charizard in the Sword & Shield series arrived in the tertiary main expansion of the SWSH Series: Darkness Afire. Charizard V has the Claw Slash set on which does 80 damage for 3 free energy (colourless). Refreshing to see a Zard with something that tin be used with less than 3 energy. Whilst its even so not exactly meta for the TCG its not terrible either. Illustrated by CG Works.

Charizard V SWSH050, SWSH Promo Series. September 25th, 2020.

This card was exclusively released in the Champions Path Elite Trainer Box in a niggling sealed packet. It's a very nicely coloured full art promo and pretty unique. Illustrated by 5ban Graphics.

What a cute bill of fare. The card uses the aforementioned movement set as the Darkness Ablaze Charizard. Information technology's a full fine art of the Shiny Charizard in information technology'south awesome black colour with cerise beneath its wings.

I have a story about this card really... (try to stay awake)... when I first got with my new girlfriend who didn't actually know what my chore was I asked if she wanted to see whats in a pack of Pokemon cards, it was around the time of the Champions Path release and at that place were boosters everywhere, I grabbed a Champions Path pack and said open that and accept a await, sure enough out pops this very carte du jour... and no, I didn't let her keep it.

Special Commitment Charizard

Special Delivery Charizard SWSH075.

I'thou aback to say that prior to writing this article I didn't even know this bill of fare existed. Nosotros've had Dragonite and Delibird doing deliveries previously, a Dragonite with a mail handbag beingness re-released equally a promo for the Sword & Shield series (a nod to the First Pic promo) would've been awesome - only they opted for notwithstanding some other Charizard. No complaint from me though, its an awesome card. It's also highly sought subsequently and in goose egg supply. I literally just looked for this while I was writing and there doesn't appear to exist any bachelor at any of the online marketplaces. I can only expect that it was a Pokemon Center exclusive. There was really reference to this card in a little booklet that came with the Sword & Shield Ultra Premium Drove.

And then there nosotros have it, thats all of the Pokemon Cards which feature Charizard to date, right the way from the original Pokemon cards of the Base gear up to the latest releases. This article will be updated as and when new Charizards are launched. Thanks for reading!
