There are 107 cards simply named Charizard spread across 50 different sets, as of June 2026. That makes the Fire-type favorite one of the most-printed Pokémon in the entire TCG — a testament to how thoroughly collectors have chased that flame-winged silhouette since the very beginning.
TL;DR: 107 cards are named exactly "Charizard", across 50 sets (variants like Charizard ex or Dark Charizard are excluded). It started with the holographic Base Set #4 (1999), illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. Figures as of June 2026.
Where it all started
The card that started everything is Charizard #4 from the 1999 Base Set, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita with the now-iconic holographic treatment.
 That Rare Holo finish made it the definitive chase card of the early TCG era, and its reputation has only grown in the decades since. Arita's composition — Charizard breathing fire against a dark background — remains one of the most recognisable images in the hobby.
What the count includes (and what it doesn't)
These 107 cards are strictly those printed with the name "Charizard." The tally deliberately excludes cards with modified names like Dark Charizard, Charizard ex, Shadow Charizard, or any other variant that carries extra words in the name. Include those and the true universe of Charizard-adjacent cards grows considerably larger. The 107 figure is the clean, literal count — the ones that simply say "Charizard" at the top.
Fifty sets and counting
Appearing in 50 distinct sets is a remarkable spread. It means Charizard has shown up in roughly a third of all mainline TCG expansions, through every era of the game from Wizards of the Coast through to the modern era. Each new generation of collectors tends to get at least one standout Charizard card to chase, which is a large part of why interest in the character never really cools.

Did you know? That first Base Set Charizard was drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita, who has since illustrated 721 cards across the whole game.
