Zippo (Japanese: ジッポ Zippo) was the first Pokémon introduced on Ritchie's team. It is unclear whether Zippo or Sparky was Ritchie's first Pokémon. It first appeared in A Friend in Deed.
In the anime
History
Original series
Kanto
Zippo was introduced as a Charmander during the Indigo Plateau Conference, breaking open a wall in a van Team Rocket trapped Ritchie and Ash in with Slash when Ash's Bulbasaur couldn't do it on its own. Later, during Ritchie's battle with Ash, Zippo was sent out against Ash's Pikachu when Ritchie's Butterfree, Happy, was defeated. Even though Pikachu dodged multiple Flamethrowers, he wasn't able to keep up and lost to Zippo's Tackle. Zippo's next opponent was Charizard. Zippo ran away from Charizard's far stronger Flamethrower after using Flamethrower itself. This caused Ritchie to recall it.
In Friends to the End, it was briefly shown battling Assunta's Rhydon. It was revealed to have been knocked out later when Ritchie's last Pokémon was shown to be Sparky. In that same episode, it saved Ash's Pikachu along with Sparky when they were captured by Team Rocket.
Johto
In A Parent Trapped!, during the Whirl Islands, Zippo was revealed to have evolved into a Charmeleon. It was sent out along with Ash's Cyndaquil to take on Butch's Hitmontop and Cassidy's Houndour. It wasn't able to match up with the opposing Pokémon as the headgear they were wearing made them more powerful.
Pokémon Chronicles
In Oaknapped!, Zippo was sent out to take on Butch's Mightyena. It used Flamethrower on Mightyena but some of the flames landed in Professor Oak's hair. Zippo then used Fire Spin on it, also hitting Cassidy's Sableye. The opposing Pokémon landed on their Trainers, leaving Sparky a chance to blast them off with Thunder.
In Celebi and Joy!, Ritchie used Zippo along with Sparky and Rose to defeat the Pokémon of a group of workers who were trying to demolish a Pokémon Center.
