Charmeleon Holo Appraisal

Charmeleon Holo Rare Pokémon Trading Card

This item is a Charmeleon Pokémon trading card, specifically a 'FIGHTING' (presumably a misread of 'STAGE 1') evolution card with a holographic image of the Pokémon. The card features an orange-bodied Charmeleon, a lizard-like creature with a flaming tail, set against a shimmering, multi-colored background indicative of a holographic or 'Holo' rarity. The card displays 'HP 90' in the top right corner and indicates it's a 'STAGE 1' evolution from Charmander. Its attack, 'Combustion,' has a power of '40' and is associated with two fire energy symbols. The card also notes a weakness to water-type Pokémon (+20 damage) and a resistance to what appears to be a grass or bug-type symbol. Below the main image, there's flavor text describing Charmeleon: 'It has a barbaric nature. In battle, it whips its fiery tail around and slashes away with sharp claws.' The overall condition appears to be excellent, with no visible creases, tears, or significant edge wear from the provided image. The colors are vibrant and the holographic effect is clearly visible. The border around the card's illustration is dark, while the lower section where the attack and stats are displayed is a solid orange. This card is part of the extensive Pokémon Trading Card Game series, likely from a specific set given its design and holographic finish. The card's identification number is '0005', and it notes 'HT: 3'7" WT: 41.9 lbs' referencing the Pokémon's characteristics.
