This is a 2023 Pokemon TCG card from the Scarlet & Violet—Obsidian Flames set featuring Charizard ex, card #223/197. As a Special Illustration Rare variant (sometimes called SIR), it showcases full-art, alternate artwork by Akira Egawa, with a vivid, highly detailed illustration of Charizard amid dazzling rainbow and crystal effects unique to Tera Pokémon cards. The card background is fully holographic with intricate foil patterns, and the silver border matches the current Scarlet & Violet era design. Notable text details include the 'Infernal Reign' ability and the powerful 'Burning Darkness' attack. The PSA label indicates this specimen is graded Mint 9. Distinctive for its full-card artwork, it's a premium chase card of this expansion, prized for both playability and collectibility. No autograph or handwriting is present; it's a factory-printed card. The Tera Pokémon ex mechanic and special illustration status distinguish it from standard Charizard ex issues.
