About the Set
DP Stormfront paired five Pokémon Lv.X with two sets of secret rares. Cards 101–103 are a secret Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard, numbered above the total, and three further shiny Pokémon — Drifloon, Duskull and Voltorb — are numbered SH1–SH3. The secret Charizard is the set’s headline chase card.
How to identify it: numbered cards read N/100. The five Pokémon Lv.X are cards 96–100. The secret Charmander line reads 101/100 to 103/100, and the shiny cards carry SH1–SH3 numbers.

Collecting & Where to Buy
DP Stormfront is out of print and trades on the secondary market. Common singles are inexpensive, while the secret Charizard, the shiny SH Pokémon and the five Pokémon Lv.X carry the strongest premiums.
Collector tip: the secret Charizard (103/100) and the shiny SH cards are the value — confirm the secret numbering and check the surface closely, since these cards show wear easily in high grade.
