Description

Chimchar #97 from the 2009 Supreme Victors expansion is a notable entry for Pokémon TCG collectors seeking to complete set-based collections. As a Basic Fire-type Pokémon, this card offers distinct gameplay mechanics that appeal to both nostalgic hobbyists and strategic players. The card carries the Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that adds visual depth to the standard card design while maintaining the accessibility of a Common rarity tier. Designed by Masakazu Fukuda, the card reflects the artistic style characteristic of the Supreme Victors era. With 50 HP, Chimchar serves as an early-game option in matches, utilizing its Fire Chop attack to deal damage and the Colorless Jump On ability to potentially flip the outcome of a turn through coin flips.

Collectors often target this card to round out their Supreme Victors inventory, ensuring they have every numbered card from the SV set code release. The combination of Chimchar’s role in the Pokédex as entry #390 and its presence in this set creates a compelling target for dedicated fans of the series. Whether building a comprehensive library of the franchise or focusing on specific parallel finishes, this card represents an essential component of the Supreme Victors catalog.
