This is known to be one of the most iconic artworks in the Pokémon Franchise. The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita who has been providing artwork since the inception of Pokémon. Arita has continued to produce illustrations since the very beginning of the TCG, and as a result, he is among the TCG's most prolific artists. The card is the oldest known Pokémon Card Game release as it was the first-ever series released on October 20, 1996. The card series was based on Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green, featuring Generation I Pokémon. The card features one of the most fan-favourite Pokemon characters - Charizard doing a mighty fire spin attack. In 2021, a 25th-anniversary edition of this card was rereleased with a red and gold "25th" logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork.

卡牌上的圖畫堪稱精靈寶可夢系列中的經典。有田満弘在精靈寶可夢及其集換式卡牌遊戲問世之初，就開始為他們提供作品，因此是一位非常多產的畫師。

這是已知最早的寶可夢卡牌之一，其所屬系列在1996年10月20日推出。該卡牌系列的原型來自寶可夢電子遊戲的開山之作，即《精靈寶可夢 紅》、《精靈寶可夢 藍》和《精靈寶可夢 綠》。卡牌上的噴火龍是深受很多粉絲喜愛的角色，畫中他正使出火焰旋渦攻擊。

2021年，這款卡牌推出二十五週年紀念版，圖畫右下角印有金、紅二色的「25th」標誌。
