Description
Released in 2002, the Pokémon Legendary Collection holds a distinct place in the trading card history for its reprinted classic designs. This product focuses on Charmander, identified by the card number 70 within the set. As a Basic Pokémon, it serves as the foundational stage for the Fire-type evolutionary line, boasting 50 HP and a retreat cost of 1. Collectors often appreciate this card for its straightforward gameplay mechanics, including the Colorless Scratch attack for 10 damage and the Fire Ember attack, which deals 30 damage but requires discarding an attached Fire Energy card. The reverse holo variation adds a distinctive tactile and visual element to the card, making it a sought-after choice for those completing set-based collections or building vintage-themed decks. Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card captures the essence of the Pokémon number 4 in the Pokédex. For investors and hobbyists alike, understanding the specific attributes of the 2002 release is crucial for accurate valuation and preservation.
