5 facts about this card
This Charmeleon was illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, one of the Pokémon TCG’s most distinctive artists, whose offbeat, storybook-like style makes even an uncommon feel instantly recognizable to longtime collectors.
Charmeleon #73 comes from Expedition Base Set, the English TCG’s first e-Card expansion, a landmark release from September 15, 2002 that introduced the e-Reader era’s signature border and scan strip.
In Expedition Base Set, Charmeleon appears as card #73/165 and its Reverse Holo version stands out because the set gave even lower-rarity cards premium foil treatment, helping uncommons like this become collector favorites.
This card’s Flamethrower attack fits Charmeleon’s game identity perfectly, since Charmeleon is consistently portrayed in Pokédex material as a fierce Fire-type whose tail flame and temper both burn hotter as it grows stronger.
Charmeleon has a memorable anime legacy beyond Ash’s line, including Ritchie’s partner Zippo, who evolved from Charmander into Charmeleon before later becoming Charizard.
