Charizard ex · Scarlet & Violet 151, what to know.
About the Charizard ex card
Numbered 199 of 207 in Scarlet & Violet 151, released in September 2023, Charizard ex is a Special Illustration Rare, a Stage 2 Fire-type carrying 330 HP.
It evolves from Charmeleon, so Charizard ex is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Charizard ex worth?
Charizard ex is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Scarlet & Violet 151's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Scarlet & Violet 151 holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Charizard ex before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
On a holo like Charizard ex, surface is the grade cap. The fire foil shows hairlines under raking light, and the print reveals scratches that flat scans miss. Centering on the left and right borders is the second thing to check.
If you are collecting Charizard ex
When you go to buy Charizard ex, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Charizard ex, so price the specific copy in front of you.
