Provenance

Where it came from

The Charizard V (79/73) was released in 2020 as a secret rare card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Champion's Path. This set was designed as a special mid-year release that focused on the Gym Leaders of the Galar region, capturing the excitement of the Sword and Shield video game era. Charizard remains one of the most iconic creatures in the franchise, and its inclusion as a high-rarity card in this specific set was a deliberate nod to collectors who prioritize chase cards featuring fan-favorite subjects.

The artwork for this card features the fiery Pokémon in a dynamic, full-art pose designed to emphasize its scale and power. Illustrators for the Pokémon Trading Card Game typically aim for a balance between modern digital aesthetic and the character's classic design language. Upon release, this card was met with significant attention from the collecting community due to the combination of the Charizard name and the card's low pull rate, cementing its status as a cornerstone of the modern secret rare collecting category.
