This card was released in the {{TCG|Base Set}} with an illustration by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]], first originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Expansion Pack}}. In Japan, this card was released as a promotional card with different artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It was first available through the "Trade Please" Campaign that ran from February 10th to July 31st in 1998. A flyer included with the ''[[Let's Trade Please (CD)|Trade Please]]'' album by [[Suzukisan]] had to be mailed to MediaFactory along with any two Pokémon trading cards within the campaign period. The {{TCG ID|Please Trade|Please Trade|promo}} promotional card, as well as either this card, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Venusaur|15}}, or {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}} would then be sent back, completing the trade. This print was later released as part of the ''[[Pokémon Song Best Collection]]'' CD. These prints have the [[Pikachu Records]] logo in place of an expansion symbol. A jumbo English version of the Base Set print was released in Japan as a free insert in the April 2000 [[CoroCoro]] magazine. The original print was also reprinted in the English {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansions. A Non Holofoil version of thisprint was released in the latter set's {{TCG|Lava}} theme deck.

A {{TCG|Retro card|special reprint}} with redrawn art by Mitsuhiro Arita was released in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, originating from the Japanese {{TCG|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} expansion. 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.

*This card was once the most sought-after card in the entire Pokémon TCG; the fact that it is a Charizard card and does 100 damage was a major factor in its appeal. Various versions of this card have been sold anywhere starting at $30, with the original 1st Edition Wizard of the Coast version selling for an average of $150, and even for more during the height of its popularity.

*The 1st edition variant of this card is still one of the most sought after cards in the hobby. A 1st edition copy graded PSA 9 can earn $700.  A 1st edition copy graded PSA 10 can earn over $2,000. Ungraded 1st edition copies can range in the hundreds.
