Introduced as a special chase card for the Pokemon Trading Card Game, Gold Star cards have a pull rate of only one per every 2 boxes, and as such command tremendous premiums as a result. Shiny Pokemon were introduced in the Pokemon Gold & Silver games to players as a sort of special chase to keep them motivated into playing, with only approximately 1 in every 4000 Pokemon being shiny. These shiny Pokemon would have distinct color variations from their standard counterparts, and would have a dazzling entrance animation when going into battle that would scatter stars all over the screen. The Charizard Gold Star designed by Masakazu Fukuda exhibits breathtaking rendition of the fire-breathing Pokemon that has become a fan favorite. Popular in any grade, this card is one of the most popular Gold Stars ever made and a lynchpin for any Charizard or Gold Star collection.
