Charmeleon (Stage 1) from the original 1999 Pokémon Game Base Set is a classic Fire-type card in the Pokémon TCG. Mitsuhiro Arita’s illustration shows Charmeleon wielding its flaming tail in vibrant detail, reflecting the art style of the first English Base Set. This shadowless edition (no drop shadow around the artwork frame) is the non-holographic rare (★) printing prized by collectors for its nostalgic early-set appearance. Nostalgic and playable, this vintage trading card appeals to both fans completing the Charmander–Charizard evolution line and collectors building a classic Base Set Pokémon collection.
