The Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield Ultra-Premium Collection—Charizard will be available on October 28, 2022, in the Pokémon Center and where Pokémon TCG products are sold.

Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield Ultra - Premium Collection - Charizard

The Sword & Shield Series and the era of Pokémon V, Pokémon VMAX, and Pokémon VSTAR have offered powerful gameplay options. Now you can take your game even further with help from a hotshot who puts all that power to good use: Charizard turns up the heat in this ultra-premium collection, appearing on three beautiful promo cards with etched foil treatments that are sure to intimidate your opponents!


Charizard V leads the pack with an Incinerate attack that not only damages your opponent's Active Pokémon, but also removes any Pokémon Tools attached to it. This card can then evolve into the fearsome-looking Charizard VMAX. Its G-Max Wildfire attack has a high cost—3 Fire Energy and 2 Colorless Energy, plus you must discard 2 Energy from the Pokémon when using the attack—but the massive 300 damage it does is worthwhile.

You can also evolve Charizard V into Charizard VSTAR. The card's colorful portrayal of Charizard battling Mewtwo is a sight to behold. Its attacks are mighty impressive, too! Explosive Fire hits for 130 damage, and it does an extra 100 damage if Charizard VSTAR has any damage counters on it. The Pokémon's Star Blaze VSTAR Power requires you to discard 2 Energy from the Pokémon, but it does a devastating 320 damage.

In addition to these incredible promo cards, Charizard's Gigantamax form is shown in all its glory on a playmat, metal coin, and set of card sleeves. Metal dice and condition markers round out this ultimate set of gameplay accessories. And as you open the huge stack of booster packs inside this box, take a journey through the Sword & Shield Series with an original booklet full of images and stats!
