Product Information

It could be argued that this is still the most elusive and sought after Charizard in the Sun & Moon series (yes, even over the Hidden Fates one). Personally despite having opened an absolute load of Burning Shadows booster boxes I only ever even saw one of these cards. It is a beautiful card though for sure.

I'm ashamed to say that prior to writing this article I didn't even know this card existed. We've had Dragonite and Delibird doing deliveries previously, a Dragonite with a mail bag being re-released as a promo for the Sword & Shield series (a nod to the First Movie promo) would've been awesome - but they opted for yet another Charizard. No complaint from me though, its an awesome card. It's also highly sought after and in zero supply. I literally just looked for this while I was writing and there doesn't appear to be any available at any of the online marketplaces. I can only expect that it was a Pokemon Center exclusive.

Card Details The set boasts an impressive collection of reprints from earlier editions and boasts a whopping 375 cards in its master set, making it one of the most expansive Pokémon sets to date.
