These days, when people think of a Charizard ex Pokémon TCG card, they’ll normally first think of the one released in Ruler of the Black Flame [SV3]. This is perfectly understandable—not only are certain versions of that card among the rarest and most valuable out there right now; the deck built around Charizard ex has been dominating the metagame for quite some time now. On top of all of that, the Charizard ex card being spoken about is one which has Terastallized into the Dark-type, thus bringing the novelty factor into the picture.

However, the Charizard ex card from Pokémon Card 151 [SV2a] certainly holds its own against its more famous counterpart. For one thing, the recent reprint of Pokémon Card 151 [SV2a] has driven up interest in just about every card from that set. As one of the most popular Pokémon of all time, the Charizard ex card would’ve been expected to be a major attraction—and so it has proven, with sales of this card among the highest since the reprint dropped.

The card’s rarity of Special Art Rare (SAR) also plays a role, as does the card’s Full Art illustration. Depicting Charizard flying away from a volcanic crater with the full moon in view, this card’s relatively simple art style is ideal for a Pokémon Card 151 [SV2a] card because of the nostalgic vibes it evokes.

In English, this card is card 199/165 from the 151 [MEW] set.

A Charizard ex (Pokémon Card 151 [SV2a] 201/165) card has a sale price of 8,500 JPY (~US$55).
