Market outlook

Declining Outlook 3/10

As of October 25, 2026, the tracked market price was down 5.4% over 30 days, despite high recent sales activity.

Next months. Recent data supports a cautious, potentially soft near-term outlook; prices may fluctuate with supply and collector demand.

Long term. The recognizable character and distinctive promo treatment may sustain collector interest, but available evidence does not establish future appreciation.

History

Charizard is a Fire-type Pokémon; this card depicts Charizard VSTAR, which evolves from Charizard V.

This English promo was included in the Sword & Shield Ultra-Premium Collection—Charizard, launched October 28, 2022. The supplied 2022 year is consistent with that release; some databases display an inconsistent earlier date.

  • Card number SWSH262 is one of three etched-foil Charizard promos in the Ultra-Premium Collection, alongside Charizard V and Charizard VMAX.
  • Illustrated by KIYOTAKA OSHIYAMA.
  • Its attacks are Explosive Fire and the VSTAR Power Star Blaze.

Collector notes

Condition. Inspect centering, corners, edges, surface scratches, and the etched-foil finish under angled light; compare the card number and artwork with a trusted reference.

Storage. Store in a clean sleeve and rigid holder, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

Authenticity. Check the SWSH262 numbering, card text, artwork, and etched-foil treatment. For graded copies, verify the grading certificate with the grading company.
