Blaine's Charmander [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This card is part of Gym Challenge, the second Gym-era Wizards of the Coast set, a release built around famous Gym Leaders and their signature Pokémon that gave cards like Blaine's Charmander a strong story identity collectors still love.
Set Lore
Blaine's Charmander in Gym Challenge is the English counterpart to a card from the Japanese Guren Town Gym theme deck, tying it directly to Cinnabar Island's Fire-type Gym Leader rather than a generic Charmander print.
Artist
The artwork is credited to Ken Sugimori, Pokémon's original art director and one of the key designers behind the first generation, which gives this card extra appeal for collectors who chase early franchise-authored art.
Card History
Blaine made his anime debut in the Indigo League episode "Riddle Me This," where his Cinnabar Gym is hidden behind quiz theatrics—exactly the kind of larger-than-life personality that makes a named Pokémon card like Blaine's Charmander feel more character-driven than a standard Charmander.
Cultural Impact
Bulbapedia notes the Charmander artwork still shows a small back spike from the species' very first design, making this a fun little snapshot of how early Pokémon art sometimes preserved prototype-era details.
