# Charmander (小火龙) (Chinese) #014 — CSV5C (黑晶炽诚)

## Summary

Charmander's Simplified Chinese common from CSV5C is the version sold to mainland collectors, released there in September 2025, where the starter has always been a natural fit for a base-level slot. The art puts the little Fire-type mid-pounce against a dark, swirling backdrop of orange flame arcs, tail ablaze and grinning. As a common it is bulk by rarity, but a Kanto starter keeps it wanted as a binder staple for anyone collecting every Charmander in every language. The modelled guide sits at $1.59 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
