    I think I would try to hold it, as well :(

    This card is the optimal Charmander in Prop 15/3 Charizard (https://retrotcgs.com/2025/01/20/prop-15-3-deck-diary-charizard/). Its Gather Fire attack allows you to repurpose Energy from your damaged basics when you retreat them with Dodrio’s help to deny prizes, or spread Fire Energy out to make them less vulnerable to Super Energy Removal. I like how each evolutionary stage of the Charizard line has strategic value in Prop 15/3 and you’re incentivized to not evolve too quickly. More on that under Base Set Charmeleon.
