This card was released in the {{TCG|Base Set}} with an illustration by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]], first originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Expansion Pack}}. In Japan, this card was released as a promotional card with different artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was first available through the "Trade Please" Campaign that ran from February 10th to July 31st in 1998. A flyer included with the ''[[Let's Trade Please (CD)|Trade Please]]'' album by [[Suzukisan]] had to be mailed to MediaFactory along with any two Pokémon trading cards within the campaign period. The {{TCG ID|Please Trade|Please Trade|promo}} promotional card, as well as either this card, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Venusaur|15}}, or {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}} would then be sent back, completing the trade. This print was later released as part of the ''[[Pokémon Song Best Collection]]'' CD. These prints have the [[Pikachu Records]] logo in place of an expansion symbol. A jumbo English version of the Base Set print was released in Japan as a free insert in the April 2000 [[CoroCoro]] magazine. The original print was also reprinted in the English {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansions. An exclusive Non-Holofoil version of this print was released in the latter set's {{TCG|Lava}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}}.

A {{TCG|Retro card|special reprint}} with redrawn art by Mitsuhiro Arita was released in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} expansion. This print modified some of the card text to bring it in line with modern card wording whilst still allowing it to retain most of its original effects; however, Energy Burn was made mandatory on the Stormfront print, whereas it was originally optional on the Base Set print.

==Release information==
* This card was released as a promotional card with different artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. In Japan, it was available through the "Please Trade" Campaign that ran from February to July in 1998. This variant card was never released in English.
* Later Japanese versions were released as part of the "Pokémon Best Collection" CD.
* A jumbo English version was released in Japan as a free insert in the April 2000 [[CoroCoro]] magazine.
* This card was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan. A non-holographic version of the card was released in the latter set's {{TCG|Lava}} theme deck.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* This card was once the most sought-after card in the entire Pokémon TCG. This is because of its Fire Spin move, which deals 100 damage, and because of this would instantly knock out the majority of other Pokémon (the only other Pokémon card with more than 100 HP would be the {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Chansey|3}} until the release of {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}). Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150.
*This card was once the most sought-after card in the entire Pokémon TCG; the fact that it is a Charizard card and does 100 damage was a major factor in its appeal. Various versions of this card have been sold anywhere starting at $30, with the original 1st Edition Wizard of the Coast version selling for an average of $150, and even for more during the height of its popularity.
* The Charizard included in the "Pokémon Best Collection" CD has the Pikachu Records logo in place of an Expansion symbol.
*The 1st edition variant of this card is still one of the most sought after cards in the hobby.  A 1st edition copy graded PSA 9 can earn $1500.  A 1st edition copy graded PSA 10 can earn over $8,000.  Ungraded 1st edition copies range in the hundreds.
