Provenance

Where it came from

The Charizard V (017/172) was released in early 2022 as part of the Brilliant Stars expansion, a set centered around the introduction of the VSTAR mechanic to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This specific card represents a modern interpretation of the franchise's most iconic fire-type Pokémon, designed to fit within the aggressive, high-energy visual aesthetic of the Sword & Shield series.

The artwork for this card was provided by illustrator N-DESIGN Inc., who focused on a dynamic, action-oriented composition that highlights Charizard's presence in a battle-ready stance. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its utility in competitive decks and by collectors who prioritize modern, high-quality foil treatments and character-driven illustrations within the broader Pokémon card meta.
