About this card
A spectacular Charizard Holo Rare in the coveted Cracked Ice Holo finish — a Deck Exclusive variant from the English Sword & Shield set Vivid Voltage. Numbered 025/185, this exclusive printing features the iconic Cracked Ice Holo pattern — a distinctive fractured, prismatic shimmer that covers the card's background and gives it a uniquely striking appearance not found on standard booster pack pulls. Deck Exclusive Charizard cards are particularly sought-after by collectors precisely because of their limited distribution — obtainable only through specific theme deck products rather than standard booster packs, making them genuinely harder to find in Near Mint condition than their regular counterparts. Charizard remains the most iconic and consistently valuable Pokémon in the entire TCG, and any alternate-finish or exclusive variant commands serious collector attention. The Battle Sense ability — allowing you to look at the top three cards of your deck each turn — combined with the devastating Royal Blaze attack, which gains 50 additional damage for every Leon card in your discard pile, makes this a genuinely powerful card for competitive play as well. A wonderful Charizard variant for collectors who appreciate exclusive print treatments.
