History

Charmander is the Fire-type Lizard Pokémon, the first in the starter trio of Generation I, known as the Flame Pokémon. It evolves into Charmeleon at level 16 and Charizard at level 36, symbolizing the beginning of a beloved dragon-like lineage central to Pokémon lore since 1996.

First printed in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet - 151 set, with promo variants including Full Art Illustration Rare #168/165 and Pokemon Center Exclusive #44.

  • Charmander #168/165 is a Full Art Illustration Rare from the nostalgic Pokémon 151 set celebrating Kanto Pokémon.
  • Promo stamps like 'Pokemon Together Promo' indicate limited distribution events.
  • Illustrated by miki kudo, featuring 340 HP as a Basic Pokémon with Fire-type attacks.

Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering on Full Art holo patterns, check for print lines, edge whitening, surface scratches on glossy finish, and corner wear; common flaws include holo bleeding and surface scratches from promo packaging.

Storage. Use semi-rigid or top-loader holders with sleeves, store in cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent holo fading, avoid stacking without dividers.

Authenticity. Verify set symbol (SV-151), card number 038/165 or promo stamp, holo pattern alignment, font consistency; fakes often have blurry art or incorrect weight; use UV light for holo authenticity and check pop reports on graded/graded.
