Provenance

Where it came from

The Charizard-EX card from the XY—Evolutions expansion was released in late 2016 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. This set was designed to mimic the aesthetic and mechanics of the original Base Set released in 1996, serving as a nostalgic tribute for long-term players while introducing modern mechanics like the EX rule, which featured Pokémon with higher HP and powerful attacks but granted two prize cards when knocked out.

The design of this card features artwork by Eske Yoshinob, who utilized a bold, dynamic style to capture the intensity of the iconic Fire-type Pokémon. While the card pays visual homage to the original Charizard, its modern layout and updated holographic treatment reflect the evolution of the Trading Card Game over two decades. Upon release, the set was widely embraced by collectors and fans, particularly those who grew up with the initial wave of cards, cementing its status as a sought-after staple of the XY era.
