Charizard

Template:Charizard Charizard (Japanese: リザードン, Hepburn: Rizaadon) is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It can mega evolve into either Mega Charizard X using the Charizardite X or Mega Charizard Y using the Charizardite Y. It can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Charizard. It is the mascot for Pokémon Red and its remake, Pokémon FireRed.

Biology

Physiology

Charizard is a large, dragon-like Pokémon that differs greatly from its pre-evolved form. The red skin coloration of Charmeleon is no longer apparent, as Charizard appears to have reverted back to the orange/yellow coloration of Charmander. The single horn that was on the back of its head is now two, one on either side. The most notable difference between Charizard and its pre-evolved forms are the large wings that have developed on its back, which gives Charizard the capability of flying.

Charizard's Mega Evolution form using Charizardite X is different from Charizard, as it now has a black body color and blue flames from its mouth and on its tail. While using Charizardite Y, Mega Charizard has a big horn on the top of its head and larger wings.

As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white with several yellow diamonds located on lower belly. There are also diamonds spots located on the front legs. The claws located on hand and feet become longer and sharp. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade and two flames located on the horns. The sclera of the eyes becomes yellow, the glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it. Gigantamax Charizard's flames increase whenever it roars. The wings are capable of being hotter than magma which Charizard uses to burn its opponents.

As Shiny Charizard Mega Evolves into Mega Charizard X, its body becomes bluish-green and its wings become red. For Mega Charizard Y, its body becomes purple.

Characteristics

The fire on Charizard's tail will change to a bluish-white color if it is furious. Given its dragon-like appearance, it is logical that Charizard is capable of learning many Dragon-type moves, such as Dragon Breath, Dragon Pulse, etc. However, it becomes a true Dragon-type as Mega Charizard X.

Behavior

Charizards are noble and will not turn the full power of their flame on opponents significantly weaker than they are. Charizards are also known to be very eager to battle. Charizard seeks out stronger foes and only breathes fire during battles with worthy opponents. The fiery breath is so hot that it can turn any material to slag. They can be very dangerous and aggressive if provoked. But like Charmander and Charmeleon, it is friendly and affectionate with its Trainer. Only a weak Charizard shows off its power, as said by Liza in Charizard's Burning Ambitions.

Evolution

Charizard evolves from Charmeleon starting at level 36. It is the final form of Charmander.

Ash's Charizard

Ash's Charizard is arguably the most powerful Pokémon throughout the anime series' run, defeating Blaine's Magmar in the original series arc, Clair's Dragonair and Gary's Blastoise in the Johto arc, Noland's Articuno in the Battle Frontier arc, and holding his own against Iris' Dragonite during the Unova arc. In the XY series, He is later followed by both Trevor and Alain's Charizard who can mega evolve into Mega Charizard Y and Mega Charizard X via Key Stones and both of their Charizardites Y and X respectively.

In Super Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. 64

Charizard made its first appearance as a Pokémon that can randomly be summoned from a Poké Ball. When summoned, it uses Flamethrower to attack the other opponents.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Charizard returns in Melee and has the same function as in the first game.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Charizard makes its first appearance as a playable character. It is part of the Pokémon Trainer's rotation along with Squirtle and Ivysaur. If Ivysaur gets low on stamina, they can switch it out for Charizard. If Charizard gets low on stamina, the player can switch it out for Squirtle. Its Neutral Special is Flamethrower, its Side Special is Rock Smash, its Up Special is Fly, and its Down Special is Pokémon Change. When using its Final Smash, all three of the Pokémon come out and attack. Charizard uses Flamethrower to attack. This one is called Triple Finish.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Charizard reappears in the fourth game, but is its own individual character. Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur were cut from the game. The stamina feature is now gone. While it shares most of its moveset, some things have changed. Rock Smash now replaces Pokémon Change as its Down Special. It has a new Side Special called Flare Blitz. When it uses Flare Blitz, it quickly charges forward while surrounded by fire. However, if it hits anything, it takes damage too. Its Final Smash has now changed from Triple Finish to Mega Evolution. When used, it mega evolves into Mega Charizard X and starts attacking.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Charizard reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is back to being one of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon. Its Down Special went back to Pokémon Change. While it still has Flare Blitz as its Side Special, it is now incapable of using Rock Smash. Also, its Final Smash went back to Triple Finish. Luckily, the stamina feature is now gone for all three Pokémon.

Trivia

• From Generation I to V, Charizard's cry was the same as Rhyhorn's.
• Its shiny color is black, rather than gold, unlike its previous forms.
• Charizard's Shiny form has changed quite a few times. Originally, it was purple with blue-green eyes and had green inner-wings. Then, it was blue-ish black with red eyes and red inner wings and it's stomach color was a greener hue. Generations IV and V changed the blue-ish black for a lighter grayish black. Generation VI changed this back to a darker black, but gave the old grayish shade to Mega Charizard Y's shiny form.
• Charizard's stats are identical to Typhlosion's.
• Mega Charizard X resembles Charizard's shiny form in Generation VI, while Mega Charizard Y's shiny form resembles Charizard's shiny form in Generations IV and V. It is also noted that Mega Charizard X's shiny form has a similar colour scheme with Salamence.
• Mega Charizard X and Mega Sceptile are the only Mega Starter's Final Evolution to have Dragon-type in the series.
• Mega Charizard X share the same Fire/Dragon-type with Reshiram and Turtonator.
• Charizard and Mewtwo are the only Pokémon that have two different version exclusive Mega Evolutions in existence.
• Despite looking incredibly like a European dragon, Charizard is not actually a Dragon-type unless it Mega evolves.
• In Pokkén Tournament, Charizard's fighting style is Devil Jin's fighting style which is the Advanced Mishima-Style Fighting Karate and Kazama-Style Self Defense with demonic abilities. Charizard's moves have a resemblance to Devil Jin's moves such as his One-Two Knee, his flying ability lands a downward kick, Devil's Beam, Corpse Thrust, Axe Kick, Evil Intent and Obliteration. His burst move bears a resemblance to Devil Jin's Hellfire Laser in the movie Tekken: Blood Vengeance, but in ice properties.
• In Super Smash Bros., Charizard is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Flamethrower.

Origin

Charizard resembles stereotypical European dragons, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in Western folklore; this would later be reflected in the Fire/Dragon typing of Mega Charizard X. Considering the lizard basis of its pre-evolutions and Japanese and English nomenclature, Charizard's draconic design may be a reference to how various types of lizards are named after dragons, most notably Komodo Dragons and Flying Dragons—two categories of lizards with which Charizard shares loose physical similarities.

Mega Charizard Y has characteristics of pterosaurs such as the Pteranodon.

Etymology

"Charizard" is a combination of "char", meaning burnt, and "lizard".

Names in other languages

• Japanese: The Japanese name Rizaadon (リザードン ) is probably a combination of a pronunciation of the word Rizaado (Lizard) and "Dragon". Also, -don is a suffix in a few dinosaur names, meaning "tooth". "Don" as the last part of its name would probably cause people to imagine it as a dinosaur-like Pokémon.
• French:"Dracaufeu" is a combination of the words "dragon" or Latin "draco" and "feu" (fire).
• German: "Glurak" is a combination of "glut" (ember), present in the line's theme naming, and "drache" (dragon) or "rakete" (rocket)
• Korean: "Rijamong" (리자몽) is a combination of the English words "lizard" and "monster" and the Korean word "ryong" (룡(龍), dragon), or possibly a corruption of the Japanese name.
