Charmander [City Championships] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Charmander #98 is one of EX Dragon’s three secret rares, numbered 98/97, which instantly gives this little starter the kind of over-the-set mystique collectors chase.
Set Lore
This EX Dragon print was first released in English as a Secret Rare and traces back to Japan’s Gift Box release, giving the card a cross-market origin story that feels bigger than a normal set pull.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational Pokémon TCG artists whose client list includes The Pokémon Company and Pokémon Company International, making his name a major draw for vintage-era collectors.
In-Game
Its attack Rage is pulled straight from the video games, where Rage is an actual move Charmander can learn, a neat bit of design that ties the card tightly to the main series games.
Card History
Charmander carries extra emotional weight for fans because the anime’s 'Charmander – The Stray Pokémon' turned it into one of the franchise’s most memorable rescue stories after Ash found it abandoned by Damian.
