Ash's Charizard (Japanese: サトシのリザードン Satoshi's Lizardon) was the fifth Pokémon acquired by Ash Ketchum in the Kanto region. His voice actor in both Japanese and English is Shin'ichirō Miki. In English, Michael Haigney was the voice of him as a Charmander and Eric Stuart was his voice as a Charmeleon.

Charizard was originally obtained as a Charmander in Charmander the Stray Pokémon. The Charmander was abandoned by Damian, and Ash and his friends found and nurtured him back to health. Charmander then chose to join Ash. He was immediately one of Ash's most used Pokémon.

As Charmander

Charmander evolved into Charmeleon in March of the Exeggutor Squad and quickly lost his loyalty to Ash. A few episodes down the line, he evolved again into Charizard in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. From the time of his becoming Charmeleon to the Orange Islands episode Charizard Chills, Charizard refused to obey Ash. After Charizard Chills, however, he became one of Ash's most reliable Pokémon, considered by many to be his strongest, even stronger than Pikachu. Charizard's return to Ash's side is due to being frozen by a powerful Poliwrath; Ash stayed up all night trying to help him.

In Charizard's Burning Ambition, Ash left his Charizard in the Charicific Valley with Liza to train and become more powerful. While there, he took the role of bodyguard for Lisa's Charizard, Charla, and the two have struck up a romantic relationship. The two Charizard occasionally visit the Dragon's Valley in Blackthorn City, one such visit coincidentally being when Ash was there for his final Johto gym battle.

Charizard can be called upon at any time and has been used in major battles including the series' first double battle and more recently in The Symbol Life, where he took on Noland's Articuno at the Battle Factory and won.

Charizard also battled and lost against Brandon's Dusclops. He learned Steel Wing in the time between the battle against Articuno and the battle against Dusclops.
