Charizard returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', but unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', it returns as part of {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} alongside {{SSBU|Squirtle}} and {{SSBU|Ivysaur}}. Due to this, [[Rock Smash]] has been replaced by [[Pokémon Change]]. Like Squirtle and Ivysaur, it is no longer subject to [[Pokémon Change#Stamina|stamina]], and thus remains effective throughout a fight. Unlike ''Brawl'', where Pokémon Trainer is a starter character, and ''Smash 4'', where Charizard is, Pokémon Trainer is now an unlockable character.

In terms of execution, Charizard functions differently from in Smash 4 because of the overall changes to its moveset and different engine, but it generally serves the same purpose as a lightning bruiser. It is fundamentally better but is counterbalanced by gaping holes in its kit such as forward aerial not autocanceling from a short hop. As such, while Charizard is only slightly better relative to the cast compared to its solo appearance in ''SSB4'', as a member of Pokémon Trainer's team, it is more useful because it allows the Trainer to adapt to situations where its longevity and KO power are needed, while also being able to replace itself with Squirtle or Ivysaur in cases where its weaknesses can be exploited.
