**Charizard** is a dual Fire and Flying-type Pokémon from the series' first generation.

## Background

Charizard is the final evolved form of Charmander, the Fire-type starter Pokémon given out to new Trainers in the Kanto region. Charizard are a proud race of warriors who constantly search for new and stronger opponents to battle. The fire that they breathe is hot enough to melt boulders, though it never uses its fire breath on an inferior opponent. Charizard is one of the few Pokémon with two different Mega Evolved forms. Notable Charizards have belonged to Ash Ketchum, Red, and Alain.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Blaze:** When pushed to the brink, Charizard's fighting spirit burns on, greatly increasing the power of its already devastating fire attacks.
* **Solar Power:** Charizard's Hidden Ability. The power of Charizard's special attacks increases under harsh sunlight at the cost of some of its health.
* **Flight:** Using its mighty wings, Charizard can fly up to 4,600 feet into the air.

### Moveset

* **Fly:** Charizard dodges incoming attacks by flying high into the air before swooping down and tackling its opponent with the momentum it gained during flight.
* **Wing Attack:** Charizard slams its opponent with its wings.
* **Steel Wing:** Charizard's wings glow with energy, extending their effective range as he slams them into his target.
* **Mega Kick:** Charizard charges its leg with energy before kicking the opponent with great force.

* **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.
* **Air Slash:** A special Flying-type move. Charizard fires a blade of wind at the opponent, which has a chance of making them flinch.
* **Smokescreen:** A Normal-type move that has Charizard summon a cloud of smoke that lowers the opponent's accuracy.
* **Fire Fang:** A physical Fire-type move. Charizard bites the foe with blazing fangs, possibly burning them and making them flinch.
* **Flame Burst:** A special Fire-type move. Charizard shoots an explosive flame from its mouth, which damages both the target, and anyone next to them.
* **Fire Spin:** A special Fire-type move. Charizard surrounds the opponent with a vortex of fire, trapping them in place and dealing repeated damage for as long as the vortex lasts.**Inferno:** A special Fire-type move.

* **Seismic Toss:** Charizard seizes his opponent and takes them into the mesosphere before bringing them down in an Izuna Drop maneuver.

* **Dragon Rage:** Charizard attacks with a sphere of pure flame at the foe.
* **Thunder Punch:** Charizard throws a punch while his hand is cloaked in electricity.
* **Dragon Tail:** Charizard's tail becomes engulfed in a draconic aura, and the target is struck by Charizard's tail.
* **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.
* **Blast Burn:** Charizard attacks with very intense flames that can inflict severe damage to the foes, which can kill by incineration. It may have to recharge afterward.

## Alternate Forms

### Mega Charizard Y

Charizard's other Mega Evolution, which can only be activated by a Trainer who has a strong bond with Charizard, a Key Stone, and a Charizardite Y. As Mega Charizard Y, Charizard's offensive stats and Special Defense go up. Mega Charizard Y's wings have grown considerably, and it has smaller wings growing on its arms, greatly increasing its flying ability.

* **Drought:** Mega Charizard Y is able to greatly raise the intensity of the sun's light in his vicinity. The harsh sunlight can strengthen any Fire type attacks while also weakening any Water type attacks in the battle; it can also allow the move Solar Beam to be used instantly.

### Mega Charizard X

One of Charizard's Mega Evolutions, which can only be activated by a Trainer who has a strong bond with Charizard, a Key Stone, and a Charizardite X. As Mega Charizard X, most of Charizard's stats besides Special Defense and Speed go up. The intensity and heat of Mega Charizard X's flames has gone up so much, that its fire has turned blue. Mega Evolution has replaced Charizard's Flying type with the Dragon type.
