#4 Charizard - Base Set 2 (base4)
Charizard is a Fire-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy. Its primary attack, Fire Spin, requires four Fire Energy to deal 100 damage and mandates discarding two Energy cards attached to it. The card includes the Pokémon Power ability Energy Burn, allowing it to convert all attached Energy into Fire Energy during its turn, provided it is not asleep, confused, or paralyzed. Charizard resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s design by Mitsuhiro Arita reflects its fiery theme, with a flavor text hinting at its destructive potential, such as melting boulders and causing accidental forest fires. It belongs to the Base Set 2, released in February 2000, and is classified as a Rare Holo. The card’s number in the set is 4, and its theme color is a warm orange-brown.
