Charizard GX - SM - Burning Shadows (SM03) Pokemon
Charizard GX from Sun & Moon — Burning Shadows (SM03) is the card that put the modern Pokémon TCG on the collector map. Released in August 2017, Burning Shadows is the set that introduced the first-ever Rainbow Rare Charizard — and this base Rare Holo GX (20/147) is its equally essential counterpart, the version every master set builder needs and every new collector chases first.
The artwork by 5ban Graphics shows Charizard coiled in flame and fury, rendered in a deep traditional holo finish that holds its own against anything printed since. At 250 HP as a Stage 2 Fire type, it hits with Crimson Storm for a punishing 300 damage and closes games with Raging Out GX — milling the top 10 cards from your opponent's deck in one shot.
