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). In terms of both main artwork and moveset this is a full art recycle of 13/106 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."

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. This card shows Charizard hovering in the air, wreathed in flames which I can only presume were of his own making. The cards descriptive text reads: " It is said that Charizard's fire burns hotter if it has experienced harsh battles.". Illustrated by hatachu. 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."

Left to right: Charizard RC5/RC32 from the Generations Radiant Collection, Charizard 11/108 Rare Holo from Evolutions and Dragon Majesty's 3/70 Charizard.

Looking rather anime, Charizard 4/100 shows a Delta species Charizard with a rather healthy flame on it's tail.... Illustrated by Kouki Saitou. I have to imagine that Peal of Thunder must have been a pretty OP ability in its day. From left to right: Skyridge Charizard 146/144, EX Dragon Charizard 100/97, EX Crystal Guardians Charizard 4/100. 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. Possibly the first rendition of 'shiny' or 'alternate' Charizard on a card, certainly to my memory.... the descriptive text reads " This extremely rare Pokemon is a different color than usual. It is very hard to find." and credit for the illustration of this majestic and elusive zard goes toAyoko Yoshida. The Neo Destiny sets ultimate secret rare. " The flames it breathes are so hot that they can melt anything. LV. 61 #6"Illus. Hironobu Yoshida. This card was issued in both a 1st Edition and Unlimited print run.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.
