Charmander Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Charmander #97 comes from Expedition Base Set, the English launch of the Pokémon e-Card era, a release built to interact with Nintendo’s e-Reader and instantly recognizable for its oversized barcode borders.
Card History
This specific print is the regular Common version of Expedition Charmander, while the set also gave collectors a separate Reverse Holo version of the same card number, making even a humble starter pull feel tied to one of the TCG’s most distinctive parallel treatments.
In-Game
Charmander’s collector appeal runs deep because it is one of Kanto’s original first partner Pokémon, the Fire-type beginning of the evolutionary line that ends with Charizard.
Artist
Expedition #97 was illustrated by Masako Yamashita, an artist whose Pokémon TCG work dates back to the Neo era, giving this card a place in the hand-drawn early-2000s style many WotC-era collectors chase.
Cultural Impact
Charmander’s pop-culture status was cemented early by the anime through Ash’s Charmander, one of the franchise’s most beloved rescue-and-evolution storylines, which helps even non-holo Charmander cards punch above their rarity with collectors.
