Provenance

Where it came from

The Charizard-EX promo card, numbered XY17, was released in 2014 as part of the XY Black Star Promos series. It was specifically distributed within the Charizard-EX Box, a retail product designed to capitalize on the popularity of the XY expansion set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This period marked a significant shift in the game's mechanics, introducing Mega Evolution and EX-Pokémon, which featured high hit points and powerful attacks, fundamentally changing competitive play.

The card features artwork by illustrator Eske Yoshinob, known for their dynamic and high-contrast style. The design emphasizes the aggressive, fiery nature of Charizard, utilizing the expanded EX card frame that characterizes this generation of cards. Upon its release, it was well-received by players and collectors alike, as it provided a more accessible entry point to a powerful Fire-type attacker compared to the pull rates of cards found in standard booster packs.
