History

Red, Green, & Blue arc

As a Charmander

Blue received Charizard as a Charmander in A Glimpse of the Glow. Although he was given as a Starter Pokémon, Charmander was not Blue's first Pokémon, as he already owned a Scyther. Blue tried using him against a Mew but failed and withdrew his Pokémon partly due to Red accidentally catching his attention, which resulted in Poli's embarrassing defeat.

At some point before Onix Is On!, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, and was used against Brock in the Pewter Gym, which he apparently won, as Red states that he and Blue were the only ones to win the Boulder Badge.

In That Awful Arbok!, Blue and Charmeleon became possessed in the Pokémon Tower by a Gastly. Red shows up and manages to save the two, at which point they head further into the tower. They eventually run into Koga and his Arbok. Blue has Charmeleon attack Koga, but it proves to only be a projection, with Koga being elsewhere. Koga sends Arbok after them and attack with Acid. Charmeleon counters with Reflect, and outside the tower Koga observes the battle from a Golbat-shaped screen, and commands another Acid that appears to break past Charmeleon's defense and corrode him. Koga gloats at his victory, but is soon surprised as Charmeleon slices Arbok cleanly in two. In A Tale of Ninetales, Charmeleon is accidentally traded to Red alongside Blue's other Pokémon. During the three days that Red has them he attempts to get them to relax and open up to him, with little success. They later traded back, while keeping the caring attitude that Red installed in them.

As a Charmeleon

In Kalling Kadabra, it is revealed that Charmeleon has evolved into Charizard. He was seen being used by Blue to try and fly into Saffron City. He later helped defeat Koga by melting his ice-cold Blizzard room by setting the whole building on fire. After this Charizard is used alongside Saur and Blasty to help defeat Thu-Fi-Zer.

In A Charizard...and a Champion, Charizard was Blue's first choice in his battle against Red and his Saur during the Pokémon League. Blue orders a Fire Spin that Saur barely dodges, but as Charizard lunges in for a follow-up attack Saur surprises it with a burst of Poison Powder. Red follows with a Razor Leaf that Blue is forced to assist his addled Charizard in dodging, before switching for Machamp to continue. He is later sent back out to fight against Saur once again. Charizard was then defeated due to a combo attack from Poli, Saur and Pika, who had created a thundercloud that struck Charizard from Saur's Vine Whip.

Yellow arc

In As Gastly as Before, Blue used Charizard to defeat a Gastly that was attacking Yellow. He is later seen training with Blue and Scyther.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In Rock, Paper...Scizor, Charizard is traded to Red for his Gyara so that he could make it across the ragged mountains of Mt. Silver. In The Last Battle XIV, Charizard is returned to Blue and used in the final battle against the Masked Man.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

In the Sevii Islands during My, My, My Mimic, Charizard learned the move exclusive to the Fire-type starter families, Blast Burn, after training on Ultima's Jump Path, Catch Path, and Battle Path courses. Afterwards, the two boys' inability to perfect their respective move's accuracy would come to haunt them in the battle against Sird, Carr, and Orm.

In Put Your Beast Foot Forward, Blue sends Charizard out to use Flamethrower on Orm's Shuckle, but fails due to their hard shells. Several Shuckle soon pop out of the ground and attack him with Toxic.

Charizard still managed to gather the strength to fight and participated in the battle on Trainer Tower in Meet Deoxys, and Deoxys, and Deoxys, and... against Deoxys' clones. Charizard then agreed to be traded to Red again to allow Red to Fly and defeat the evil leader as Red's Aero was too badly injured from its earlier encounter with Deoxys and therefore couldn't use Fly in its current condition. After Giovanni's defeat, Charizard was traded back to his original owner, but the two soon found themselves petrified by Sird with the four other Pokédex Holders and their Pokémon.

Charizard and Blue

Emerald arc

In The Final Battle VIII, Charizard becomes unpetrified and regained mobility, upon which Charizard, Exbo, and Chic attack with Blast Burn to help destroy Guile Hideout's fake Kyogre.

X & Y arc

Charizard appears with Blue in Pinsir Glares, helping Blue rescue Diantha. He along with Rhyperior later leads X's group to Anistar City, while doing so they are admired by Salamè and Rhyrhy, after exiting Route 17 they leave them and return to Blue.

In Charizard Transforms, on the route to Pokémon Village, the group was attacked by Xerosic. During the battle, Blue assists X in the fight, revealing to everyone that he also possesses a Key Stone given to him from Gurkinn. Together with X's Salamè, Blue and X use their Key Stones to Mega Evolve both of their Pokémon into Mega Charizard Y for Blue and Mega Charizard X for X. The combined might of both Mega-Evolved Pokémon easily defeats Xerosic. Charizard later tries to help suppress Mewtwo's rage at the Pokémon Village alongside Rhyperior, Marisso, and Salamè. Despite their numbers Mewtwo keeps the advantage, easily knocking them away with Psywave.

Personality and characteristics

Charizard's Charizardite Y

As a Charmeleon, Charizard was shown as a very serious Pokémon, ignoring those he didn't respect. After evolving Charizard became more friendly and relaxed, now being able to work with people other than his Trainer. Charizard is also very brave and outgoing. He is very loyal and had an extremely strong relationship with Blue.

Trivia

• As a Charmander, it is shown to have spines on its back. This is the same as on Generation I sprites and early artwork, but is absent in those of future generations. The spines are also seen on Green's Charmander in Pokémon Pocket Monsters.
• Charizard is the only one of Blue's Pokémon that has not evolved by trade.
• Blue from the games also uses a Charizard in Red, Blue, Green, FireRed, and LeafGreen Versions if the player chooses Bulbasaur. Charizard also makes an appearance in both rounds of Pokémon Stadium, in case a game where Blue has a Charizard is inserted.
• At level 89, Charizard is tied with Snor for being the highest leveled Pokémon belonging to a Pokédex holder.
