It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}. Charizard has three other forms. * It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms: ** '''Mega Charizard X''' using the [[Charizardite X]]. ** '''Mega Charizard Y''' using the [[Charizardite Y]]. * It has a [[Gigantamax]] form. Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and its [[remake]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]], appearing on the box art of both games. ==Biology== [[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork.png|thumb|250px|left|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]] Charizard is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing-finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its {{wp|plantigrade}} feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame. Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath is capable of melting boulders and massive glaciers, and has been known to accidentally cause forest fires. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. Charizard typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}, such as the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]]. [[EP134|The anime]] has shown that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. [[HS17|It also showed]] that Charizard can swim underwater, with [[Pokémon Origins]] further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard's wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters). Charizard lives in herds with {{p|Charmander}}. Charizard has two Mega Evolutions. Both feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw. As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue. It is said that its new power turns it black and creates more intense flames. As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer {{wp|digitigrade}} feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than a jet fighter. Charizard also has a [[Gigantamax]] form. As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white with several yellow diamonds located on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots located on the front legs. The claws located on its hands and feet become longer and sharper. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The sclerae of the eyes become 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, like the clouds most other Gigantamax Pokémon have. Two flames sprout from its horns, and its wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade. These colossal flamed wings were created from the energy of Gigantamaxing, and are hotter than magma; Gigantamax Charizard uses these flames to burn its opponents.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-charizard/ Gigantamax Charizard | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The flames within Gigantamax Charizard burn hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), and increase in temperature when it roars. Gigantamax Charizard is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}. ==In the anime== ===Main series=== [[File:Friede Charizard.png |thumb|250px|left|Charizard in the {{pkmn|anime}}]] [[File:Alain Mega Charizard X.png|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X in the anime]] [[File:Trevor Mega Charizard Y.png|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard Y in the anime]] [[File:Leon Gigantamax Charizard.png|thumb|250px|Gigantamax Charizard in the anime]] ====Major appearances==== =====[[Ash's Charizard]]===== {{Ash}} has a Charizard that he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''.

In addition, it had the highest HP then, at 120. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. First edition cards of this dwarfed this price at one point breaking the $1000 US price point. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and released again with updated artwork in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion. ==In the TFG== One Charizard figure has been released. * {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Charizard|1}} ==Other appearances== [[File:Pokkén Charizard.png|250px|thumb|Charizard in [[Pokkén Tournament]]]] [[File:Celestial Charizard.png|250px|thumb|Charizard in the music video for Celestial]] ===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]=== {{main|Charizard (Super Smash Bros.)}} Charizard appeared as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon in [[Super Smash Bros.]] and [[Super Smash Bros.

Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were introduced before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. * Prior to [[Generation VI]], Charizard and {{p|Rhyhorn}} shared the same cry. This cry was updated and reused for [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Charizard Y. * Charizard holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon to appear in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]], as it is the first one to appear in the opening. However, outside of Japan, {{p|Mewtwo}} is the first to appear. * Charizard is the only Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]] that transitioned from a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon to a playable character. * Charizard and Johtonian {{p|Typhlosion}}, along with their respective evolutionary lines, have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution. * Charizard was the focus of a [[Charizard Pokémon Center promotion (2010)|Pokémon Center promotion]] in April 2010. * Mega Charizard Y has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. * Charizard was [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Chilicola charizard'', a species of stem-nesting bees. The discoverer, Spencer K. Monckton, was inspired to name the species after Charizard thanks to its mountainous habitat and the orange coloration found in the first specimen he observed.<ref name="Real-life taxonomic influence">[http://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7731 A revision of ''Chilicola'' (''Heteroediscelis''), a subgenus of xeromelissine bees (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) endemic to Chile: taxonomy, phylogeny, and biogeography, with descriptions of eight new species]</ref><ref>(June 1, 2016).

It was also the fourth-most popular Pokémon overall. * The current design of a {{Shiny}} Charizard was first seen in an official art from 2001, between the releases of {{game|Crystal}} and {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. * Charizard appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the bishop piece in chess, but can also move one square backwards. * ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is the only anime series to not feature a Charizard in any capacity. * In [[Generation IX]], Charizard is unable to learn both {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|False Swipe}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolutions can learn False Swipe and Charmander can learn Metal Claw. ===Origin=== Charizard may be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in {{wp|European folklore}}; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|salamander}}. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles. ====Name origin==== Charizard may be a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.
