Charizard EX 199/165

This is Charizard EX from the 151 set, one of the most sought after Pokemon across the entire hobby. Card number 199/165 sits above the set's numbered total of 165, which marks it as a secret rare pulled well beyond the base list.

The rarity here is a Special Illustration Rare, a treatment reserved for a small selection of cards in each set. These cards pair the Pokemon EX mechanic with full artwork that extends across the whole card, showing Charizard in a scene rather than a plain frame. EX cards are powerful single Pokemon that carry higher HP and stronger attacks in play, and the EX line has long been a favourite among players and collectors alike.

Combine the 151 set's nostalgic Kanto focus, the Charizard name, and the secret rare Special Illustration Rare treatment, and you have a card that consistently ranks among the most wanted from the era. It is a centrepiece for any Charizard or Kanto collection.
