Release information

This card was reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection reprint sets, which were only released outside of Japan. A nonholographic version of the card was released in the latter set's Lava theme deck.

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. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150.

Origin

Fire Spin is a move in the Pokémon games that can be learned by Charizard. The card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, though it is slightly reworded.
