Questions about Red Pokémon cards

How many cards are on the red list?

92 so far, from Moltres in Fossil (1999) to the newest sets, and 6 of them are promos. They're all in the list above, rarest first.

What is the rarest Red Pokémon card?

It's the Rare Secret, like Volcanion-EX from Steam Siege (115/114).

Which Pokémon has the most red cards?

Scizor, with 9 cards. Groudon (8), Ho-Oh (7) and Volcanion (6) are next.

What makes a card a red card?

Red is the colour that stands out most on the card, whether that is the Pokémon itself, flames, a sunset or the whole background. Each card was picked by hand by looking at the art, so the list is a selection, not every Fire type card.

Who drew the most red cards?

5ban Graphics, with 19 cards, followed by AKIRA EGAWA (5) and nagimiso (3).
