'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a {{2t|Fire|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the Ability {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charizard evolves from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 36.

Charizard is the version mascot of both [[Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed]], appearing on the boxart of both.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at great speeds, although the faster it flys, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes. Its a very powerful Pokémon to own, but you have to make sure it likes and obeys you before it evolves, or it can ignore or even attack its trainer. Its {{M|Rage}} attack is nigh unstoppable.

===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===

==Behavior==
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires. Charizard flies around in the sky searching for strong opponents. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

==Habitat==
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is a valley somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:AG136 022.jpeg|frame|left|Ash's Charizard using {{m|DragonBreath}}]][[Ash Ketchum]] has a [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]] that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with [[Liza (Johto)|Liza]] in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phoney]]''.
[[Image:JnJCharizardAggron.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and James with their {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and {{TP|James|Aggron}}.]]
A trainer used a Charizard in the [[Verdanturf Town|Verdanturf]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May]]''.

In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{TP|Ash|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG176|Grating Spaces]]'', [[Delibird (Team Rocket)|Delibird]] gave a [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a Charizard and {{p|Aggron}} (James getting {{TP|James|Aggron}} and Jessie getting {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}}, respectively). However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]], one of {{Special|Green}}'s main Pokémon is a Charizard, evolved from his {{p|Charmander}}. [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] also has a Charizard in the [[Battle Frontier]] storyline.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].

In [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he recieved from Professor Oak.

=In the TCG=
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its attack and Poke-Power Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy Cards attached to it to turn into fire Energy Cards. The [[move]] {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four fire energy cards and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of most Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets.

=In the TFG=
One Charizard figure has been released.

=Other appearances=
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Charizard to use {{m|Rock Smash}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Charizard will release a {{m|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground, alternating between the left and right.

====Trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
{{Upcoming notice}}
Charizard is a playable Pokémon used by [[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]]. It will be able to use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}. It also has the ability to glide. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, [[Triple Finish]].

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Diamond and Pearl Only:
* '''{{m|Blast Burn}}

===Special moves===

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Charizard will learn Blast Burn at level 99 if it has at least 333 [[IQ]] points. If this requirement is not met until after reaching level 99, Blast Burn will still be available at the Move Relearner.

= Trivia =
* Even though Charizard is supposed to evolve from Charmeleon through leveling up, in [[Pokémon Snap]] a Charmeleon evolves by falling into a pit of lava. This may be due to the fact that Snap is more anime-based.
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through HM, but it can't in Red & Blue. This was changed starting with Yellow, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in Red/Blue, by trading one from a Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal version.
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.

== Origin ==
Charizard resembles the [[wp:European dragon|European dragon]], which had many forms in the legends that described it. It also closely resembles the fabled [[wp:Jersey Devil|Jersey Devil]] from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Although it is a {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]], it can learn {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

=== Name origin ===
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix commonly used in [[wp:dinosaur|dinosaur]] names.

== In other languages ==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glurak
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracaufeu - Effectively translates as ''Fire Dragon''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 리자몽 ''Rijamong'' (Lizamon)

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: パルキア ''Palkia'') is a {{2t|Water|Dragon}}-type [[Legendary Pokémon]].

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

Palkia's [[signature move]] is {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
=Biology=
==Physiology==
Palkia looks less dinosaur-like than Dialga but looks more dragon-like, as it stands upright and possesses wings, although it does not possess the ability to fly more than a couple feet off the ground. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls reside. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.
===Gender differences===
Palkia is genderless.
===Special abilities===
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Although it is not an ability, it should be noted that, because of Palkia's type, its only weakness is the {{t|dragon}} type.

Palkia is the only Pokémon that can utilize the [[Lustrous Orb]].

Palkia is the only Pokémon capable of learning {{m|Spacial Rend}} naturally.

==Behavior==
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

==Habitat==
Legends say that it lives "in the gaps of space which are aligned in parallel."

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
[[Image:Palkia Movie10.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Palkia in [[Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai]].]]
Palkia makes an appearance in the tenth Pokémon [[Movies|Movie]] along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with {{p|Dialga}} and nearly destroys [[Álamos Town]].

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

A statue and silhouette Palkia appears in [[DP036]].

Palkia also makes a cameo in the [[Together|Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song]].

Palkia will even make an appearance in the [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet|eleventh movie]], it seems that it will, once again, be battling {{p|Dialga}}.

'''Arceus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アルセウス''' ''Arseus'') is the last [[Legendary Pokémon]] of [[Generation IV]] and the final Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Pokédex]] as of that generation.

Arceus is known as "The Original One," as it is said that it created the universe, the [[dragon trio]], and the [[lake trio]]. The only known way to get Arceus is with the [[Azure Flute]] (also known as The Key of Space and Time).
Arceus has not yet been officially revealed.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Arceus is an equine being that may be based on a horse-like mammal or [[wp:qilin|qilin]]. Its body is white, has a gray underside and its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its mane is quite long and its face is gray with green eyes. It also has a cross-like wheel attached to its body, which changes color along with it's eyes based on Arceus' current type.

===Gender differences===
Arceus is genderless, as it is the only one of its species.

===Special abilities===
According to legend, Arceus created the universe, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Dialga}}, and the [[lake trio]].

While Arceus may be a pure {{type2|Normal}}, due to Arceus's Multitype ability allows for its type to change into any of the other 16 types depending on what type of special plate it holds.

Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, also changes its type depending on the type of special plate Arceus is holding. Arceus also has the ability to use several attacks of various types, but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Arceus lives at the [[Hall of Origin]] which can only be accessed by use of the [[Azure Flute]] at the Spear Pillar.

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=

=Trivia=
[[Image:Spr 4d 493-???.png|thumb|right|Sprite for ???-type Arceus]]
*At level 80, Arceus is the highest level non-glitch Pokémon available for capture.
*By statistical average, Arceus is the strongest Pokémon yet.
*Because of Arceus' god-like nature and growing fan base, he has been dubbed by fans to be the "God of Pokémon." This interest has even led to the creation of joke religions focused on the worship of Arceus.
*The code for Diamond and Pearl has sprites for Arceus using its Multitype ability with all 18 types, including {{type2|???}}. It is disputed whether the ???-type Arceus is obtainable.
*Although Arceus is considered the Creation Pokémon, it cannot learn all of the TMs and HMs like {{p|Mew}} can.
*Even though it is said that it created the world with its thousand arms, it cannot learn any TMs nor HMs that uses arms or punches.
*According to some, Arceus is catchable in the North America and European versions of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] with the help of the [[Tweaking]] [[glitch]]; however, this has yet to be confirmed.
*Although Nintendo is attempting to keep Arceus secret, it is possible for Arceus's signature move, {{m|Judgment}}, to be used through {{m|Metronome}}, thus potentially revealing the existence of Arceus to otherwise unaware fans.
*Normal-type Arceus has the highest [[base stat]] in {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* It is possible that the programmers of Game Freak may have programmmed a ??? type Arceus into the game to prevent game crashes. A code patcher can figure out how to change a Pokémon's type. It is possible that the programmers might have figured that someone would tamper with Arceus's type, and would be able to change it to a ??? type. If changed to a ???-type, there wouldn't be a sprite for it. The game would crash because it would try loading data that does not exist.
==Origin==
Arceus may be a reference to the Chinese mythical creature, the [[wp:Qilin|Qilin]]. Its myth is nearly identical to that of the [[wp:Pangu|Pangu]], the Chinese creation deity.
===Name origin===
Arceus's name may come from the words ''arch'' (highest) and ''deus'', which is Latin and Greek for ''god''. It may also have a root in the Latin word ''arcanus'', which means ''secret; sacred mystery''.
Arceus's name may also come from the word ''archaic'' (ancient), which comes from the Greek ''arkhaios'' meaning the same thing. It could have also come from the Latin word ''archetypus'' (original).
