Charmander — MEP Black Star Promo #038 | Holofoil | First Partner Illustration Collection

This is not a reprint and not a filler pull — this Charmander was released internationally as an MEP Black Star Promotional card included in the First Partner Illustration Collection Series 1, dropping on March 20, 2026. The release commemorates Pokémon's 30th Anniversary, and Charmander sits at the center of it.

What makes this card genuinely special is the artwork: it forms a combined illustration with the MEP Promotional Bulbasaur and Squirtle, together representing the iconic first partner Pokémon trio of the Kanto region. The artwork was illustrated by Saboteri — a clean, character-driven piece built for display. Collected as a trio, the three cards tell one continuous story.

  • Finish: Holofoil
  • Card Type: Fire / 80 HP / Basic — Attack: Ember (30), discard an Energy from this Pokémon
  • Illustrator: Saboteri
