What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Charmeleon

Poké-Power

Burning Energy

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may turn all basic Energy attached to all of your Pokémon into Fire Energy for the rest of the turn. This power can't be used if Charizard is affected by a Special Condition.

Attack · 120 damage

Scorching Whirlwind

Fire + Fire + Fire + Fire energy. Flip 2 coins. If 1 of them is tails, discard 2 Energy cards attached to Charizard. If both are tails, discard all Energy cards attached to Charizard.

Collector workflow

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Expedition Base Set set name, and 40 / 165 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
