# Chimchar (小火焰猴) (Chinese) #040 — CSV7C (利刃猛醒)

## Summary

January 2026 was when Chimchar's Simplified Chinese common reached mainland shelves in set CSV7C, a plain bulk slot in a run that mostly matters for its bigger pulls. The artwork is cheerful and uncluttered: the little fire monkey leaps across a flat, storybook-style scene of treetops and pale clouds, orange tail flame trailing behind it. Chimchar is a Sinnoh starter fans remember fondly, which gives a humble Chinese common a little more charm than its tier suggests. The modelled guide sits at $1.99; no PSA population is on file.
