Collector Insights

Charmander is a Fire-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It features two attacks: "Call for Friends" requires one Colorless energy, allowing the player to search their deck for a Fire Basic Pokémon, reveal it to their opponent, and add it to their hand before shuffling their deck. The second attack, "Steady Firebreathing," costs one Fire and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage. The card’s artist is Suwama Chiaki, and its flavor text describes the Pokémon’s tail fire as an indicator of its health. Charmander has a Water weakness with a +10 multiplier and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It belongs to the Platinum series, released as part of the Arceus set in November 2009. The card’s rarity is Common, and it is classified as a Pokémon with no additional abilities or resistances listed.

The fire on the tip of its tail is a measure of its life. If healthy, its tail burns intensely.
