What is the Pokemon TCG Sword & Shield Ultra Premium Collection Charizard?
The Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield Ultra-Premium Collection – Charizard is a premium sealed box released by The Pokémon Company International on October 28, 2022, at a US launch price of $119.99. Collectors know it as the Sword & Shield Charizard UPC (swsh charizard upc). Its centerpiece is a trio of etched foil Charizard promos: Charizard V, Charizard VMAX and Charizard VSTAR.
It arrived near the end of the Sword & Shield era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which makes this Charizard UPC a snapshot of the V, VMAX and VSTAR mechanics that defined the series. Because it is no longer in production, sealed copies are now sought after by collectors and by players who want the three promos in their original packaging.
What’s inside the box?
- 3 etched foil promo cards: Charizard V (SWSH260), Charizard VMAX (SWSH261), and Charizard VSTAR (SWSH262)
- 16 Pokémon TCG booster packs from the Sword & Shield Series
- 1 playmat featuring Gigantamax Charizard
- 65 card sleeves featuring Gigantamax Charizard
- 1 metal coin featuring Gigantamax Charizard
- 6 metal damage-counter dice
- 2 metal condition markers
- 1 acrylic VSTAR marker
- A player’s guide to the entire Sword & Shield Series
- A code card for Pokémon TCG Live
Each booster pack holds 10 cards plus either a basic Energy or a VSTAR marker. The mix of Sword & Shield expansions varies from box to box. Code cards are included as packaged; redemption depends on Pokémon TCG Live’s current terms.
The three etched Charizard promo cards
Charizard V (SWSH260). A 220 HP Basic Pokémon V whose Incinerate attack damages the opponent’s Active Pokémon and removes any Pokémon Tools attached to it.
Charizard VMAX (SWSH261). Evolves from Charizard V. Its G-Max Wildfire attack deals 300 damage for three Fire and two Colorless Energy, and you discard 2 Energy from it after attacking.
Charizard VSTAR (SWSH262). A 280 HP VSTAR whose artwork shows Charizard battling Mewtwo. Explosive Fire hits for 130, plus 100 more if Charizard VSTAR has damage counters on it, and its Star Blaze VSTAR Power deals 320 damage.
All three use an etched foil finish, which is why collectors searching for the Charizard VMAX UPC or Charizard VSTAR promo usually want them straight from this box.

Is the Sword & Shield Charizard Ultra-Premium Collection worth buying?
It depends on your goal. Collectors buy it for the three etched Charizard promos and the sealed Sword & Shield-era presentation; players value the accessories and 16 packs.
