   Oh, there are so many problems with this card that it’s hard to know where to start..in fact, this entire set was a bit of a fiasco.

   Probably one of the most of the Charizards, has about as much going on a one of the newer promo EX cards. I guess he could be fun in a doubles environment, but other than that sorely lacking. He always struck me as an outlier for not having big numbers on his card.

   This Charizard was one of many generation 3 cards designed to interact with the TCG’s short-lived 2v2 format, and it kind of reminds me of how Mega Charizard Y is used in Pokémon Champions’ Double Battle format today. In the competitive video game scene, Charizard’s best attack is Heat Wave, which damages both of your opponent’s active Pokémon and has a chance of burning them; this card doesn’t DAMAGE both defending Pokémon, but it CAN burn both of them!

   https://jklaczpokemon.com/ex-decks/#2-on-2 some information on how 2v2 battles worked in the trading card game.

I’m not sure if there were any gen 4 cards that did the same thing but worded it differently; 2v2 battles were still KIND of supported that generation, but not to the same extent.

   Hey look, it’s a Charizard with an attack that does NOT make you discard energy cards! What a novelty!
