Charcadet · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Charcadet card
Numbered 43 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Charcadet is a Common, a Basic Fire-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Charcadet needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Charcadet carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Burnt charcoal came to life and became a Pokémon. Possessing a fiery fighting spirit, Charcadet will battle even tough opponents."
What is Charcadet worth?
Charcadet is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Charcadet before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Charcadet is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Charcadet
Raw copies of Charcadet are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Charcadet is the practical move.
