==Summary==
Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon and the final stage of the Charmander evolutionary line. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail, which burns with a sizable flame.
Charizard has a long neck, small blue eyes raised nostrils, and two blunt horns protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with teal undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws.

*Wing Attack: Charizard slams its opponent with its wings.
*Slash: Charizard cuts its opponent apart with its claws.
*Flamethrower: Charizard breathes a stream of concentrated fire at his opponent.
*Fire Blast: Charizard fires a flame blast in the shape of a 大 kanjī, which means "great", at the targets, dealing even more damage than Flamethrower.
*Dragon Claw: Charizard charges its claws with draconic energy to extend its range before slashing the opponent with them.
*Shadow Claw: Charizard slashes at its opponent with a sharp claw made from shadows.
*Overheat: Charizard attacks with a ferocious burst of flame, dealing even more damage than Fire Blast. However, subsequent uses will be much weaker, and overuse will lower Charizard's overall combat effectiveness.

*Dragon Rage: Charizard attacks with a sphere of pure flame at the foe.
*Flare Blitz: Charizard wreaths itself in flame before throwing itself at its opponent in a flying tackle, dealing massive Fire-type damage upon striking the target. However, the recklessness of this attack deals a portion of this damage back to Charizard, which can wear it down if overused.

=== Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard===
*Blaze: When pushed to the brink, Charizard's fighting spirit burns on, greatly increasing the power of its already devastating fire attacks.

===Mega Charizard X===
*Tough Claws: Mega Charizard X's close combat proficiency is superior to its normal counterparts. Its Tough Claws ability significantly raises the power of any close combat attacks he uses.
