This promo was included in the Charizard-EX Red & Blue Collection in 2016 as part of the Pokemon 20th Anniversary Celebrations, there was both a Jumbo and Standard sized version of the card included. The card is illustrated byKouki Saitou.
From left to right: Skyridge Charizard 146/144, EX Dragon Charizard 100/97, EX Crystal Guardians Charizard 4/100. The Diamond & Pearl series got its first Charizard in its final expansion: Diamond & Pearl: Stormfront. It's wings can carry this Pokémon close to an altitude of 4,600 feet. It blows out fire at very high temperatures. Artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita. Once the sun set on the Sun & Moon series the Sword & Shield series arrived and GX Cards were replaced with V Cards. Not only this but V Pokemon attained the new ability; to go VMAX (become massively bigger versions of their original Pokemon). And Charizard was never going to be left out of the fun. Lets take a look at all the V and VMAX cards featuring the ultimate dragon looking non-dragon. Cinnibar Island's gym leader Blaine entered the Pokemon TCG fray with a number of his Pokemon in the Gym Challenge set in 2000 including this awesome Charizard. No descriptive/lore text makes me a little sad, but instead we got a cool portrait of Blaine's face where that text would've gone so who can complain right? This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori. The pull rate on this card was pretty crazy considering its Charizard VMAX. These things were popping like wildfire. It's the first time we see Charizard in VMAX form with it's colossal 330 HP. Illustrated by CG Works.The Rainbow Rare version of the Darkness Ablaze VMAX was a secret rare in Champions Path. I'm more of a Shiny Charizard V man myself. Illustrated by CG Works. It could be argued that this is still the most elusive and sought after Charizard in the Sun & Moon series (yes, even over the Hidden Fates one). Personally despite having opened an absolute load of Burning Shadows booster boxes I only ever even saw one of these cards. It is a beautiful card though for sure. Celebrate Pokémon with the world-famous Pikachu, taking to the waves and the skies on a special pin to commemorate 25 years of good times and great adventures! In terms of both main artwork and moveset this is a full art recycle of 69/106, however this card has the gold Japanese style lettering and a gold accent on the card which shows it is the secret rare version of the original. (Thanks to Sam T for this info). This card is from the Sun & Moon Promo series and specifically was part of the Sun & Moon Team Up PreRelease. The one in the picture is of the STAFF version of the card. Sharing the same descriptive text as its Team Up main set counterpart " When expelling a blast of superhot fire, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns more intensely."
A while after the introduction of Tag Team GX Cards Reshiram & Charizard went their separate ways, after an undeniably successful campaign. Charizard forged a new partnership this time with Braixen. This new partnership lasted three cards (to date) in the Sun & Moon series' final set; Cosmic Eclipse. A really unique artwork promo which was released as part of the Detective Pikachu Promo set. The card 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 bit skeptical about the look of the cards, but once I'd watched the movie (I watched it AFTER the sets release) I warmed to them, it's now one of my favourite sets. The flaming zard nicely represents a certain scene in the movie. Illustrated by Framestore.Celebrate the great teamwork between Charizard and its Trainer Lance or explore the darker side of Sylveon with a unique look at the Intertwining Pokémon with this pair of Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collections, which highlights classic gameplay mechanics from Pokémon TCG days past. I'm ashamed to say that prior to writing this article I didn't even know this card existed. We've had Dragonite and Delibird doing deliveries previously, a Dragonite with a mail bag being re-released as a promo for the Sword & Shield series (a nod to the First Movie promo) would've been awesome - but they opted for yet another Charizard. No complaint from me though, its an awesome card. It's also highly sought after and in zero supply. I literally just looked for this while I was writing and there doesn't appear to be any available at any of the online marketplaces. I can only expect that it was a Pokemon Center exclusive. There was actually reference to this card in a little booklet that came with the Sword & Shield Ultra Premium Collection. The Shiny Vault rare Charizard VMAX from Shining Fates is currently one of the most sought after and valuable cards in the Sword & Shield series. Whats better than Charizard? Charizard VMAX? Whats better than Rainbow? Shiny, of course. Illustrated by CG. Works. Arguably not quite the competitive staple of its Reshirard predecessor but a nice card none the less, and by no means terrible in play.
Great Deal
