Charmeleon [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Charmeleon #24 is part of the original English Base Set, the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion released on January 9, 1999, which makes a 1st Edition copy a true first-print piece from the game’s western debut.
Card History
This Base Set Charmeleon captures the early TCG’s clean, hard-hitting design with Slash and Flamethrower, the latter demanding a Fire Energy discard that gave Fire decks real risk-and-reward flavor from the start.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the defining artists of the original Pokémon era, and his work on Base Set helped establish the visual identity collectors still associate with vintage Pokémon cards.
Card History
Charmeleon’s anime debut was a memorable turning point for Ash, because Charmander evolved into Charmeleon in "The March of the Exeggutor Squad" and immediately began showing the rebellious attitude fans still remember.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text mirrors Charmeleon’s classic Pokédex portrayal, emphasizing that when it swings its burning tail it drives temperatures to unbearable levels, reinforcing the fierce middle-stage identity between Charmander and Charizard.
