Charmander

Charmander is the Fire-type Lizard Pokémon, the first in the starter trio of Generation I (Kanto region), evolving into Charmeleon and Charizard. It is iconic as a fan-favorite starter with a flame on its tail that weakens if the Pokémon is ill or weak, symbolizing its life force, and holds significant nostalgia as one of the original 151 Pokémon[1][2][5].

First released in the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - 151 set on September 22, 2023, as a special Illustration Rare secret card[5].

• Features artwork by miki kudo, showcasing a dynamic illustration style[2].
• Bears the 25th Anniversary Stamp celebrating Pokémon's anniversary[2].
• Attack moves include Blazing Destruction (discards Stadium) and Steady Firebreathing (30 damage), 70 HP Basic Fire-type[2].

Condition. Check for centering issues on full art borders, surface scratches on glossy holo finish, edge whitening, corner dings; common flaws include print lines on illustration and print dots from high-demand secret rare production.

Storage. Use semi-rigid top-loaders with sleeves in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent holo oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers.

Authenticity. Verify 25th Anniversary Stamp alignment and font; check holo pattern consistency under light; compare miki kudo signature and artwork details to official scans; use graded/graded population reports for cert verification.
