Provenance

Where it came from

The Charmeleon card from the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet—151 expansion was released in 2023 to celebrate the original 151 Pokémon from the Kanto region. This set was designed as a modern tribute to the franchise's roots, with card numbering that corresponds directly to the original Pokédex order. The card features Charmeleon, the evolved form of Charmander, depicted in its classic fire-type aesthetic.

The illustration for this specific card was crafted by artist kurumitsu. Known for a clean, vibrant style, the artist aimed to capture the intensity of the creature while maintaining the nostalgic feel required for a set dedicated to generation one. Within the community, the 151 set was highly anticipated for its focus on the iconic initial roster, and this uncommon card is widely recognized for its consistent, polished artwork that honors the character's legacy.
