Back to summaryHow much HP and damage Charmander Pokémon cards print
| Measure | Lowest | Lower quarter | Typical | Upper quarter | Highest | Cards counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 46 |
| Biggest attack | 10 | 20 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 45 |
Trainer and energy cards carry no HP or attack, so they are left out of these counts rather than entered as zero. "Biggest attack" is the largest printed damage number on the card, before any condition the attack text adds.
HP printed on the 46 Charmander cards that carry one. The typical card is 60 HP. Bar length is that HP against the highest in the group.
Half of these cards sit between 50 and 70 HP. The distance between the two ends is what a single average would have hidden.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest | 50.0% of the highest | 40 HP |
| Lower quarter | 62.5% of the highest | 50 HP |
| Typical | 75.0% of the highest | 60 HP |
| Upper quarter | 87.5% of the highest | 70 HP |
| Highest | 100.0% of the highest | 80 HP |
The largest printed damage number on each of the 45 Charmander cards that print one. The typical card hits for 20. Bar length is that number against the hardest hitter in the group.
Half of these cards hit between 20 and 30. Attack text that adds a condition is not counted here — only the printed number.
| Group | Share | Value |

| Cards with an Ability | 2 | 4.3% |
| Cards with a special rule | 0 | 0.0% |
Standard and Expanded are the two tournament formats. A card leaves Standard when its set rotates out, so this share moves each year while the card itself does not change.
Each track is the whole of the 46 Charmander cards on file, so the empty part of a bar is the share the answer does not cover.
The four rows are not slices of one whole — a card can be legal in Standard and carry an Ability at the same time, so the bars are read one at a time against the group.
| Group | Share | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Legal in Standard today | 21.7% | 10 cards |
| Legal in Expanded today | 56.5% | 26 cards |

Back to summaryThe cheapest Charmander Pokémon cards you can buy
Cheapest first. Each card opens its own price page. Prices exclude shipping, which on a card at this level is usually more than the card.
These six together cost $2.13, against $616.33 for the single dearest Charmander card. The two ends of the same group sit 3,852× apart, and both of them are correctly described as "Charmander".
How Charmander compares with the other Pokémon
"Which Pokémon is the most expensive" has three different answers depending on what you measure, so this section keeps them apart.
Ranked by its single dearest card, Charmander is number 33 of 206 Pokémon, on Legendary Collection #70 at $616.33. By card count it is number 26, and by the price of an ordinary card number 63 — three different answers to "is it the most expensive".
These are the Pokémon that sit next to Charmander on that ladder.
