'''Charizard''' is a [[bulbapedia:Fire (type)|Fire]]/[[bulbapedia:Flying (type)|Flying]]-type [[Pokémon]]. It appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a playable character. In the ''Pokémon'' series, it evolves from [[bulbapedia:Charmeleon (Pokémon)|Charmeleon]], which evolves from [[bulbapedia:Charmander (Pokémon)|Charmander]]. Charizard [[bulbapedia:Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]] into Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y.
 
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.''===
[[File:Charizardssb.PNG|thumb|left|Charizard in ''Super Smash Bros.''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Charizard}}
Charizard appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. When summoned, its turns from side to side, using [[bulbapedia:Flamethrower (move)|Flamethrower]] to attack opponents.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
[[File:Charizard.PNG|thumb|right|Charizard as it appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' Charizard once again appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon, retaining its attack and pattern from the original game.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
[[File:BrawlCharizard.png|thumb|right|'''Charizard'''{{'}}s artwork, from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Charizard (SSBB)}}
Charizard appears as one of the Pokémon used by the [[Pokémon Trainer]], who remains in the background of a stage while Charizard fights. The Pokémon Trainer uses [[Squirtle]] and [[Ivysaur]] in addition to Charizard, and when [[Pokémon Change]] is used while Ivysaur is out, Charizard replaces Ivysaur in battle. If the move is used again, Squirtle replaces Charizard. Charizard, the heaviest of the three Pokémon, is the only one able to [[Gliding|glide]].
 
In the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]], Charizard is the last Pokémon that the Pokémon Trainer collects. [[Lucas]] and the trainer first see Charizard flying into a mountain, and Pokémon Trainer points out to Lucas that it is the third Pokémon he must collect. After traveling through the mountain, Pokémon Trainer and Lucas find Charizard, who attacks them. The two battle the large Pokémon, which is turned into a [[trophy]] upon its defeat. The trainer collects the trophy, and Charizard joins the party.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''===
{{LLQuote|Charizard Fires it Up!|Introduction|[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Direct|Super Smash Bros. Direct]]}}
Charizard returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. However, in this game, it will return as a standalone fighter rather than being one of the [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s Pokémon due to the elimination of in-battle transformation moves. One of Charizard's [[bulbapedia:Mega Evolution|Mega Evolution]]s, Mega Charizard X, is its [[Final Smash]] move.<ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYnxSKLtow</ref>
 
Like all the other playable Pok&#233;mon, Charizard can be equipped with the X Attack, X Defense, and X Speed equipment. Additionally, Charizard can use the Fake Nails equipment, making it the only fighter in the game who can use three different attack equipment sub-types.

==Special moves==
===Flamethrower===
[[File:Flamethrower.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Flamethrower''' being used by Charizard.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Flamethrower}}
'''Flamethrower''' has been Charizard's attack since ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' In the first two games, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Charizard uses Flamethrower when released from the Poké Ball, damaging any characters who touched it (except for the one who released Charizard). In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it is Charizard's standard Special Move. When used, Charizard will shoot fire in the direction it is facing, similar to [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]], though Charizard's attack has greater range and deals more damage. [[Kirby]] can use this move after [[Kirby#Inhale|copying]] Charizard's powers. He also uses Flamethrower during his down throw move.
 
===Rock Smash===
[[File:Rock Smash.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Charizard's '''Rock Smash'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Rock Smash}}
'''Rock Smash''' is Charizard's side [[Special Move|special move]]. When used, Charizard will pull out a large rock and smash it with its head, devastating any players hit by the "exploding" rock. The attack is based on the actual [[Pokémon]] attack called Rock Smash. It is a close range attack. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', it was changed to be his down special move and replaced with Flare Blitz.
 
===Flare Blitz===
{{main|SmashWiki:Flare Blitz}}
'''Flare Blitz''' is Charizard's side special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', replacing its down special from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. When used, Charizard flies forward, engulfed in flames, exploding as soon as it connects with an opponent. In addition to damaging the opponent, however, the move also damages Charizard whenever it is used.
 
===Fly===
[[File:FlyCharizard.jpg|200px|right|thumb|'''Fly''' in action.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Fly}}
'''Fly''' is the Up special move of Charizard. All that happens is that every time the attack code is pressed, Charizard flaps its wings once to fly upwards. It is also engulfed in fire to launch and burn foes above it. Like the [[Super Dedede Jump]], it has little horizontal distance. Charizard will be put into a brief helpless state afterward if he finishes the move in the air.
 
===Pokémon Change===
[[File:Charizard returning.jpg|left|thumb|200px|'''Pokémon Change''' in action.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Pokémon Change}}
'''Pokémon Change''' is Charizard's down special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When used, Charizard is called back into its , and Squirtle is sent out in its place.
{{br|left}}
 
===Fire Blast===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer#Triple Finish}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Triple Finish}}
In the move Triple Finish, Charizard continually blasts the foe with '''[[bulbapedia:Fire Blast (move)|Fire Blast]]'''. This attack is the finisher of the Final Smash; the other two rack up damage.
 
===Mega Evolution===
{{main|SmashWiki:Mega Charizard X}}
[[File:SSB4MegaCharizardX.jpg|thumb|right|'''Mega Charizard X''', as it appears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.]]
'''Mega Evolution''' is Charizard's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''. When activated, Charizard will mega evolve into Mega Charizard X, where its body turns black and blue. This Final Smash operates in a similar manner as [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] [[Super Dragon]] Final Smash, except for that Mega Charizard X can either spit out a powerful fireball, or attack opponents directly with Dragon Rush. Players can control the angle of Dragon Rush with the Circle Pad or Control Stick.
 
Mega Charizard X is impervious to flinching, but it can still take damage from attacks. Also, taking damage will shorten the duration of this Final Smash.

==Trivia==
*Charizard's name is a combination of the words char (meaning burnt) and lizard (since it's a lizard-like creature).
*If Charizard's tail is ever submerged under the water in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', or if it is raining, its flame will still not go out.
**If Charizard jumps into the water, it will start groaning as if it is in pain.
*Charizard's name in Japan, Lizardon, is the same name as [[Lizardon|a character in ''Wario's Woods'']]. Interestingly, ''Wario's Woods'' preceded the release of ''Pokémon Red and Green'' in Japan by a little over two years.
