Provenance

Where it came from

Chimchar 18/114 was released in 2016 as part of the Steam Siege expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was designed to emphasize the duality of dual-type Pokémon, introducing mechanics that allowed cards to possess two elemental types simultaneously to reflect the diverse and complex evolution of creatures within the franchise. The card serves as a foundational common-rarity entry, intended to provide players with accessible, low-cost options for building decks centered on the Fire type.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by sui, a frequent contributor to the franchise known for a clean and expressive style. The design captures Chimchar in a classic, active stance, adhering to the established visual language of the Sinnoh region starter Pokémon. As a common card within a competitive set, it was widely distributed across booster packs, aiming to fill out the lower tiers of the set list while maintaining the high artistic standards expected by the player base and collectors alike.
