This card came from the Collectors Chest 2019. You may notice on the art the patterns on the Charizard, it's one of Mewtwo's clones, and like many bits from that particular collectors chest its a nod to Pokemon the First Movie. The box also included an Armored Mewtwo Promo. " This Pokemon was created by Mewtwo to prove that copies can be even more powerful than their originals." Arguably not quite the competitive staple of its Reshirard predecessor but a nice card none the less, and by no means terrible in play. The first Mega Charizard in the XY Evolutions set recycles the artwork and moveset once again from XY Flashfire. (Thanks to Sam T for this info).

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. So, let’s get into it. First up it’s the Base Set Charizard from the 25th Anniversary Celebrations Set. Charizard Base Set 25th Celebrations The base set artwork is easily one of the best Charizard cards to collect. 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. 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: M Charizard EX 107/106, M Charizard EX 13/108, M Charizard EX Full Art 101/108.

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. This promo card was released in the Hidden Fates Tins alongside Raichu and Gyarados. It's a basic artwork, but its a popular card from a collectors perspective and won't be around forever so I'd definitely recommend grabbing one now before they stop re-releasing Hidden Fates tins.

And if we decided to grade our cards, would our value be higher than our costs based on these average populations?The full art version of 20/214 shows new partners Reshiram & Charizard in a more relaxed pose. A really nice looking card and my favourite of the three zards in this set. Illustrated by CG Works.
