Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon resembling a European dragon and the final evolutionary form of [[Charmander]]. As Charmander, it is one of the {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto}} region's three {{s|bulbapedia|starter Pokémon}}. However, unlike in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'', ''Green'']], and [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|''Blue Versions'']], Charmander is obtainable alongside its fellow Kanto starters {{s|bulbapedia|Bulbasaur}} and [[Squirtle]] under special conditions in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Yellow Version|''Pokémon Yellow Version'']]. In [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']], Charizard is not obtainable via regular gameplay (except via QR Code from a collectible figure), but appears as a [[bulbapedia:Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] that helps the player travel between locations, replacing the [[Fly]] {{s|bulbapedia|Hidden Machine}} from previous generations. Despite its design basis, Charizard normally lacks the [[bulbapedia:Dragon (type)|Dragon-type]] given to most draconic and/or saurian Pokémon, but can become a Fire/Dragon-type through [[Mega Charizard X|Mega Evolution]]; additionally, ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' refers to it as a dragon on several occasions despite the type discrepancy. | Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon resembling a European dragon and the final evolutionary form of [[Charmander]].

It is registered as #006 in the National Pokédex. | ||
As Pokédex entries throughout every Pokémon RPG describe, Charizard breathes out fire that reaches incredible temperatures, hot enough to melt boulders and quickly melt glaciers weighing 10000 tons, and it is said the temperature increases as it experiences harsh battles. When expelling a blast of super hot fire, its tail flame burns more intensely, and if it becomes furious, its tail flame flares up in a whitish-blue color. It is known to cause forest fires unintentionally. However, it never turns its fiery breath on any opponent weaker than itself unless ordered to do so. It flies about in search of powerful opponents, with its wings carrying it close to an altitude of 4600 feet. | As Pokédex entries throughout every Pokémon RPG describe, Charizard breathes out fire that reaches incredible temperatures, hot enough to melt boulders and quickly melt glaciers weighing 10000 tons, and it is said the temperature increases as it experiences harsh battles.
