How to get Charizard ex
Choose the Charizard booster within Genetic Apex; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match A1 and collector number 36 when checking the card. The denominator 226 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.

How this Charizard ex printing works
The A1 card offers Slash for 60 or Crimson Storm for 200, with the larger attack discarding two attached Energy. That creates an Energy replacement problem next turn. This 180 HP Stage 2 Fire ex needs an evolution line and awards two points on knockout; later Charizard ex effects differ.
Stage 2 Fire ex with 180 HP; the launch-set Charizard ex. Other Charizard ex cards appear in Shining Revelry (A2b) and Deluxe Pack: ex (A4b); compare their effects rather than treating every printing as an identical reprint.
Deck choices and printing differences
Use the Fire deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.
The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.
