# Charmeleon (Japanese) #084 — Start Deck 100 Battle Collection

## Summary

Japan had this Charmeleon in December 2025, about six weeks before the Ascended Heroes release carrying the same card in English. In the Japanese Start Deck 100 Battle Collection it is a plain common, which means a deck-filler slot rather than a chase. The art is a pleasure, though: a red-orange Charmeleon snarls mid-roar in tall grass, flame tail curling under a dusky purple-pink sky. A $0.99 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
