What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may take 1 Fire Energy card attached to 1 of your other Pokémon and attach it to Charmander. This power can't be used if Charmander is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Many people find it cute and try to hold it, only to be burned by its tail.

Where it came from
The Team Rocket expansion was released in 2000 as the third main set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, marking a significant thematic shift by introducing Team Rocket as the primary antagonists. This set was unique for featuring 'Dark' Pokémon, which emphasized a more aggressive, edgy aesthetic to differentiate itself from the core Base Set and Jungle expansions.
The Charmander card, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, follows the standard design language of the era, focusing on clean lines and a grounded, biological depiction of the creature. While it remained a common card within the set, it is cherished by collectors today as a quintessential piece of the late-nineties Pokémon phenomenon, representing the widespread cultural transition of the brand into the darker, more complex storylines of the Team Rocket narrative.
