Charizard is a super heavyweight fighter and one of the characters made playable from [[Pokémon Trainer]], alongside the likes of [[Squirtle]] and [[Ivysaur]]. While {{SSBU|Squirtle}} will automatically be the first Pokémon on-screen if Pokémon Trainer is selected, pressing the [[Y button]] twice on the character select screen will toggle Charizard as first. In relation to [[Pokémon Change]], the order is always Charizard-Squirtle-{{SSBU|Ivysaur}}. If Ivysaur is [[KO]]d, Charizard will always appear on the next [[revival platform]]. | Charizard is a super heavyweight fighter and one of the characters made playable from [[Pokémon Trainer]], alongside the likes of [[Squirtle]] and [[Ivysaur]].

Previously the standalone character in ''Smash 4'' representing the trio of Pokémon in ''Brawl'', Charizard now returns as part of the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s crew. As expected, it has kept many of its changes from ''Smash 4'', and has also retained its function as the fastest and hardest-hitting member of the Pokémon Trainer's party. In the transition to ''Ultimate'', Charizard has received a mix of buffs and nerfs; while it was initially ambiguous to whether it was buffed or nerfed since both buffs and nerfs were equally notable, game updates have provided Charizard with useful buffs that have improved its options and fixed inconsistencies with its moveset. Because of this, Charizard has been buffed overall. | Previously the standalone character in ''Smash 4'' representing the trio of Pokémon in ''Brawl'', Charizard now returns as part of the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s crew.

As a result of Charizard being considered to be the worst Pokémon Trainer Pokémon at launch, it was buffed in updates. Charizard would only receive small but helpful buffs throughout update 2.0.0 and 3.1.0, slightly improving its consistency and KO power. It wasn't until update 4.0.0 where Charizard would gain some considerable buffs. Said update made its forward tilt and forward smash much stronger, Charizard's neutral aerial was given two more active frames on its hitboxes, on top of having less landing lag, making it safer on shield and easier to combo into other moves more reliably out of fast fall. Forward throw was given more knockback and Flare Blitz is now able to grab the ledge substantially earlier. Charizard also benefited from the near-universal buff to shield sizes granted in 7.0.0. Update 9.0.0 buffed the consistency of Flare Blitz and Fly, making the two moves connect more reliably than they once did before. | As a result of Charizard being considered to be the worst Pokémon Trainer Pokémon at launch, it was buffed in updates.
