Participating Pokémon Centers, Pokémon Card Stations, and stores hosting Pokémon Card Gym meetings between July 23 and September 22, 2020 held Charizard HR Competitions, which were Limited format tournaments.

Each tournament consisted of multiple 4-player round-robin qualifying rounds with the top player from each group going on to compete in the knockout stages. The overall winners of a tournament were given a copy of the Rainbow Rare version of this card. An invitation-only Charizard HR Competition consisting of eight players was held at Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo on July 17, 2020 to decide the first winner of the card. Six hundred copies of the Rainbow Rare version were intended to be distributed at physical venues.

A {{Shiny}} version of the Champion's Path print was included in the Japanese {{TCG|Shiny Star V}} subset. The Darkness Ablaze print was later reprinted in a second version of the Japanese Charizard VMAX Starter Set, available in the {{TCGMerch|Sword & Shield|Era|VMAX Battle Triple Starter Set}} from December 4, 2020.
