Pokémon Celebrations Tin Charizard (25th Anniv)

Product Information

Covering the extremely awesome Skyridge Charizard and moving through the EX Series cards up to Power Keepers. The Japanese version of the Charizard appears to have the same moves and ability as that of it's English counterpart card. Artwork byMitsuhiro 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. 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). 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 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.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. This full art promo arrived in the Charizard-GX Premium Collection in both a standard and jumbo size format. It features the same moveset as its GX counterparts from Burning Shadows and is essentially the missing standard full art from the Burning Shadows set. Illustrated by 5ban graphics.

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. A fairly standard Charizard non-action-pose holo sees the zard staring at the holographic moon, a nice simple card illustrated by the notorious Ken Sugimori. 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. From left to right: M Charizard EX 107/106, M Charizard EX 13/108, M Charizard EX Full Art 101/108. 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.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. The first Charizard card in the e-Reader series arrived in 2002 in the Expedition Base set, this time with Hiromichi Sugiyama as it's illustrator. It's a beautiful card, but I can't be the only one gutted that theres no descriptive text at the bottom as on all previous cards. From left to right: Skyridge Charizard 146/144, EX Dragon Charizard 100/97, EX Crystal Guardians Charizard 4/100. 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. Left to right: Charizard 14/181 from Sun & Moon Team Up, Charizard SM158 Holo Promo Card from the Team Up Pre-Release, Charizard SM226 was from the Collectors Chest 2019.
