*A special reprint with redrawn art by Mitsuhiro Arita was released in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} set. This print modified some of the card text to bring it in line with modern card wording whilst still allowing it to retain most of its original effects; however, Energy Burn was made mandatory on the Stormfront print, whereas it was originally optional on the Base Set print.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This card was once the most sought-after card in the entire Pokémon TCG. This is because of its Fire Spin move, which deals 100 damage, and because of this would instantly knock out the majority of other Pokémon (the only other Pokémon card with more than 100 HP would be the {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Chansey|3}} until the release of {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}). Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150.
