Charmander – Art Rare 168/165 | Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) | Japanese Pokémon Card 2023

The littlest Fire starter — in the most atmospheric canyon full-art of the 151 set. The Charmander Art Rare (AR) 168/165 from the Japanese Scarlet & Violet expansion Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) features a stunning full-art holofoil illustration by miki kudo — one of the most beloved and widely praised ARs in the entire set. Charmander sits alone on a rock ledge deep inside a majestic, sun-drenched canyon, tiny tail flame flickering, bathed in warm golden light streaming dramatically from above through towering layered rock formations.

The composition is intimate, quiet, and deeply emotional — a tiny Charmander in an enormous world, the warm canyon light perfectly echoing the warmth of its tail flame. miki kudo's painterly illustration style brings a softness and depth to the scene that makes it feel less like a TCG card and more like concept art for a Pokémon film. The holofoil sheen across the layered rock surfaces in hand is simply spectacular.

A Fire-type Basic with 70 HP, featuring the clever Kindle attack — discarding any Stadium card currently in play — and Flamethrower dealing 30 damage. Both attacks have genuine utility, making this card as functional as it is beautiful.

Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) is one of the most celebrated Japanese sets of the Scarlet & Violet era — a complete tribute to all 151 original Kanto Pokémon, released in June 2023.
