# Charmander (小火龙) (Chinese) #001 — CS5aC (勇魅群星 魅)

## Summary

A common in the first slot of CS5aC, this Simplified Chinese Charmander is bulk by rarity but not by charm. Released in mainland China in June 2024, the set gives the Kanto starter a plain pull that still has to be owned for any complete Chinese run. The artwork has it mid-leap, tail flame streaming behind, against a swirl of red and orange with blue sky behind.
