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 Base Set 2 and 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 Lava theme deck.
- A special reprint with redrawn art by Mitsuhiro Arita was released in the Stormfront set. 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.
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 Base Set Chansey until the release of Gym Challenge). Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150.
- The Charizard included in the "Pokémon Best Collection" CD has the Pikachu Records logo in place of an Expansion symbol.
Origin
Fire Spin is a move in the Pokémon games that Charizard can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded. The Stormfront Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon FireRed.
