Logan Paul recently called Charizard the heartbeat of the Pokemon market, and for collectors tracking prices on sites like PokemonPricing.com, that statement hits home. Charizard has long been the king of Pokemon cards, driving hype and value like no other Pokemon.
Paul, the YouTuber and wrestler who jumped into the Pokemon world with his massive Prime 1st Edition Charizard purchase, knows the pull this fiery dragon has. He spent a fortune on that rare card years ago, and it turned heads. Now, in late 2025, he is pointing out how Charizard keeps the entire trading card market pulsing, even as broader trends shift.[4]
Look at the numbers. While many modern cards from sets like Surging Sparks, Destined Rivals, and Temporal Forces dip in price due to more supply hitting stores, top-tier cards hold strong.[6][4] Videos from market watchers note that ultra-modern releases flood the market, pushing average single card prices down, but the biggest names like Charizard ex variants stay stable or climb.[4][5] For example, high-end cards in the top 10 most expensive of 2025, such as Umbreon ex jumping to $1,050 market price, show premium chase cards bucking the downward trend.[7]
Charizard leads this pack. Special promo versions, like the Special Delivery Charizard, spark rumors of reprints and keep collectors buzzing.[5] Sealed products from hot 2025 sets like Prismatic Evolutions and Paldean Fates saw huge gains, with Elite Trainer Boxes doubling or tripling in value from shiny hype and shortages.[1][3] Charizard pulls from that same collector demand and nostalgia, making it a safe bet amid holiday peaks in December when gifting drives searches sky-high.[1][2]
Investors saw 150-400% returns on Scarlet & Violet era sealed wax this year, fueled by grading booms and meta plays, but Charizard sits at the core as the ultimate icon.[3] Modern prices may soften overall with packs lingering on shelves, yet Paul is right, this Pokemon keeps the market’s rhythm alive for those hunting value.[6]
On PokemonPricing.com, watch Charizard listings closely. Dips in the general market mean entry points for graded or alternate art versions, while sealed Charizard-heavy sets like those from 2025 could rebound into 2026 with new releases looming.[3][1] Paul’s take reminds everyone: in a shifting Pokemon economy, Charizard is the steady flame.
