'''Charizard''', known in Japan as '''Lizardon''' ({{ja|リザードン}}, ''Rizādon''), is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in a sense; it is one of three Pokémon that are played through {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, the other two being {{SSBB|Squirtle}} and {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}. Charizard originates from [[bulbapedia:Generation I|the original ''Pokémon'' games]] as the second and final evolved form of [[Charmander]], one of the initial Pokémon the player can start out with at the beginning of the adventure.
'''Charizard''' ({{ja|リザードン|Rizādon}}, ''Lizardon''), stylized as '''CHARIZARD''' in Europe, is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Charizard is voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Shin'ichirō Miki}} across all versions of the game, reprising his role from the Pokémon anime, though providing it with more realistic, reptile-like voice clips compared to the anime.

Despite being the fifth [[weight|heaviest]] character in ''Brawl'', it differs greatly from the other heavyweights in abilities, though it does share their stats. Charizard is also the only heavyweight Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. It has a surprisingly fast [[dashing]] speed (slightly faster than {{SSBB|Pikachu}} though the difference is extremely small.) for a character of its weight, but it also has the slowest walking speed in the game ({{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} shares the same problem). It is also the second fastest heavyweight in game, next only to Captain Falcon. Charizard is one of only three playable characters to possess wings (the others being {{SSBB|Pit}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}), and as such is gifted with two, very small midair [[jump]]s and the ability to [[glide]]. Both the start-up and the actual glide are significantly slower than the other two gliders though, making it difficult to incorporate into strategies outside of safer, less-predictable recoveries and infinite horizontal [[recovery]]. Charizard is easy to hit due to being a very large target, but can take lots of [[damage]] before getting [[KO]]'d due to its large weight. Like all three of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Charizard is susceptible to [[Pokémon_Change#Stamina|stamina]] fatigue; after two minutes of play, its moves will be noticeably less powerful (in both [[damage]] and [[knockback]]). Given Charizard's high KO power and staying ability, however, it could be said it is the least affected by stamina of the three.

It is also the second fastest heavyweight in game, next only to Captain Falcon. It is almost unaffected by [[type effectiveness]]; both {{b|grass|effect}} and [[water]]-type attacks are only used by 2 characters each.

Predictably, Charizard is a powerful character with long attack range. Its smash attacks are all quite powerful, with its side smash being capable of KOing a little below 80%. Charizard's power and range are counter-balanced by having a significant amount of ending lag after its power moves. Charizard can put decent offensive pressure on the opponent with its multiple jumps, [[Flamethrower]], back aerial, up tilt, and up smash, and can also give out more defensive damage with moves like its forward tilt, down tilt and forward aerial (the last of which is especially useful when properly ledge-hopped). neutral aerial and [[Rock Smash]] work both defensively and offensively, so overall Charizard has balanced attack capabilities. Despite its good range, Charizard's approach suffers against well-spaced disjointed hitboxes; Charizard fights best at mid to close range, where swords and the like are generally superior ([[Marth (SSBB)|Marth's]] forward aerial can even cut through all of Rock Smash). Charizard's specials are potent. Its Flamethrower is great at racking up the damage at close range, and also works well as an edge-guard or stalling tactic at mid-range. On the downside, Charizard lacks a long-ranged projectile. Complementing the damage-racking of Flamethrower is Charizard's side special, Rock Smash. It provides Charizard with an additional, relatively-safe power move; the headbutt packs a more portable punch than its smashes, and damage dealt from the rock fragments can combine to over 50%. Sometimes, when an opponent strikes the player in a continuous way, Rock Smash can hit your opponent; dealing them more damage than the player is receiving. Charizard's up special [[Fly]] has [[launch resistance]] frames and significant knockback (although it has a linear path and is a somewhat poor recovery move, more because it suffers from 30 frames of the [[landing lag glitch]]), which both contribute to its recovery and can surprise high-speed rushdown moves (like Meta Knight's glide attack) by busting through for a potential KO. Also, due the start-up, poor push-away and large landing lag of his aerials, it has a very poor air game. It is even easy to tech-chase when it lies on the ground due to its terrible get-up rolls (for example, it can't even roll behind Snake who stays stationary after it down throws him).

It is even easy to tech-chase when it lies on the ground due to its terrible get-up rolls (for example, it can't even roll behind Snake who stays stationary after it down throws him).


Charizard's greatest asset is its grab; Charizard's long neck gives it the second longest standing grab in the game, next to {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. The range is immensely helpful when dealing with higher-tier characters who have an easier time controlling the match. At low damage percentages, rushing in after a forward throw can usually net another grab, with another throw racking up a quick 20% at the beginning of matches. Its forward and back throws are also easily followed up with short-hopped Flamethrowers/Rock Smashes, depending on what the situation calls for (opponent retreating/advancing). Above 120% damage, Charizard's down throw is an effective KO'ing move, should the opponent prove difficult to KO with standard attacks.

===Moveset===
Charizard was considered a semi-viable character when the Brawl metagame was active. Players agreed that Charizard was in the middle when compared with {{SSBB|Squirtle}} and {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}. While it had a wide array of kill options as well as a decent recovery, Charizard suffered from its slow speed and laggy moveset. It also had trouble against many of the more prevalent characters in the metagame, notably {{SSBB|King Dedede}} and {{SSBB|Marth}}.
Charizard's moveset includes attacks that are within its ability; Charizard attacks with its wings, teeth, tail, head, and claws. In the Pokémon Universe, Charizard is capable (in one way or another) of learning moves involving said body parts.

=====[[Smash attack]]s=====
===[[Wii Remote selection sound]]===
*[[Forward smash]] - Sweeps its head forward from bottom to top. Slow, but very powerful and far-reaching attack. Two-hit attack. First hit does 5% damage and second hit does 17% damage if uncharged. First hit does 7% damage and second hit does 23% damage if fully charged. Hits on frame 22-24, then on frame 26-30.
{{SelectSound|char=Pokémon Trainer|desc=The Trainer releases a Poké Ball and says "Go for it!".}}
*[[Up smash]] - Bats upward with both of its wings, hitting twice. Decent knockback; maximum damage is given if both wings strike. Initial wing-swipe is very fast, making running up-smashes very effective. First hit does 5% damage and second hit does 11% damage if uncharged.  First hit does 7% damage and second hit does 15% damage if fully charged. Start-up of 6 frames, ending on frame 22.
*[[Down smash]] - Stomps the ground once with both feet, causing earth to erupt from either side of it. Vertical knockback. Hits simultaneously on both sides with fantastic range and good power, but has a laggy start/finish (hits on frame 14-15) and will only hit on ground opponents. Does 16-22% damage.


=====Other=====
===[[On-screen appearance]]===
*[[Ledge attack]] - A slow, biting headbutt with little range. Does 8% damage.
{{Appearance
*100% ledge attack - A mid-range tail swipe with moderate knockback. Has a sweet-spot at the flaming tip, burning the opponent for more damage and knockback. Does 10% damage.
|desc=The Pokémon Trainer releases Charizard from a Poké Ball and yells "Go Charizard!"
*[[Floor attack]] - A combination rising bite and tail sweep, which hits on both sides quickly. Does 6% damage.
|char=Charizard
|game=SSBB}}


====[[Aerial attack]]s====
===[[Taunt]]s===
*[[Neutral aerial]] - Spins entire body in a somersault, hitting with its tail. Hitbox for sweetspot is very small, and otherwise has very little knockback. Has a long-lasting hitbox and cancels quickly, making it effective for defense or for attacking from beneath low-level platforms. Does 9% damage. Hits on frame 8-26.
All of Charizard's taunts are slightly different depending on the direction it is facing. This is most noticeable with its down taunt and least noticeable with its side taunt. Additionally, all of Charizard's taunts involve a stomp.
*[[Forward aerial]] - Breathes a cone of flame forward and a little down. Good knockback, quick, and can work as a mildly effective [[wall of pain]]. However, the attack has no knockback further away from initial flame-blast near the mouth, and has noticeable landing lag. Does 10% damage if all hits connect. Start-up of 9 frames.
{{Taunt/SSBB
*[[Back aerial]] - Hits quickly behind it with its wing, claw, and fiery tail. The upper hitbox can [[meteor smash]], but it is weak and exists only to knock the opponent into the more-powerful tail swipe. Most reliable aerial KO move when sweet-spotted. Does 7% damage. 16% when hit with all attacks and sweetspotted fire on tail. Hitbox out on frame 7.
|char=Charizard
*[[Up aerial]] - Bites upward. Fairly poor range and knockback. Move has significant sex-kick attributes. Does 10% damage. Hits on frame 6-27.
|desc-up=Stomps and roars to the sky, while flapping its wings.
*[[Down aerial]] - [[Stomp]]s downward. This move will always meteor smash. This makes Charizard the only flying/multiple-jump character in the game with a dedicated, single-hit meteor smash in its arsenal of regular attacks (Kirby's down aerial becomes a drill after the initial hitbox), allowing it to meteor smash opponents more safely/reliably than others. This meteor is unique as it is the only meteor that hits grounded opponents harder than aerial opponents. It is in fact, the second strongest meteor on grounded opponents, being able to star KO under 125% (it still pales in comparison to Ganondorf's down aerial). Its power is only above average on airborne opponents. Does 14% damage. The hit also has an invisible hitbox, similar to Snake's forward and up tilts, which is vertical. Hits on frame 18-20.
|desc-side=Stomps and makes a bizarre purring sound, and also flaps its wings once.
*[[Glide|Glide attack]] - Spins out of glide and hits with wings/jaws for solid knockback; a good interruption move and easily followed up on when used near ground. Strongest glide attack in the game. Does 12% damage.
|desc-down=Stomps violently.}}


====[[Grab]]s and [[throw]]s====
===[[Idle pose]]s===
*[[Pummel]] - Bites with sharp fangs. Very fast. Does 2% damage.
{{Idle
*[[Forward throw]] - Grabs opponent in jaws, spins them, then releases them in front of itself. A pseudo-chain throw on many characters with damage percentages near 0%. Does 10% damage.
|desc-1=Spits fire at the ground.
*[[Back throw]] - Throws the opponent behind it quickly. Charizard's fastest throw. Does 10% damage.
|desc-2=Leans back and stomps the ground.
*[[Up throw]] - Sets opponent above itself, then slams them with its head. Does 11% damage.
|image-1=Charizard Idle Pose 2 Brawl.png
*[[Down throw]] - Sets its opponent on the floor, and then breathes fire on them. Largely horizontal knockback. A reliable, if easy to DI, KO move at high damage percentages, but the weakest of his throws damage-wise. Can even damage a victim with a Franklin Badge. Does 6% damage.

=== ''Brawl'' Manual Description ===
==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]==
A flame Pokémon that can fly and breathe fire.
[[File:Charizard Subspace Emissary.png|thumb|300px|{{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} and {{SSBB|Lucas}} watch Charizard fly to [[The Ruins]] in ''[[SSE]]''.]]
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)#Role in The Subspace Emissary|l1=Pokémon Trainer}}
Charizard is first seen flying towards [[The Ruins]] by {{SSBB|Lucas}} and {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}. Pokémon Trainer recognizes that Charizard is one of the Pokémon he's been trying to catch, and he and Lucas head into the ruins to attempt to capture it. In the process, they encounter {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} in trophy form, which Pokémon Trainer captures. Eventually, Lucas and Pokémon Trainer defeat Charizard in battle and capture it, giving Pokémon Trainer his full team of {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, Ivysaur and Charizard.{{clr}}

|desc=A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, Flamethrower, is a reliable technique.

==Role in ''The Subspace Emissary''==
==[[Alternate costume (SSBB)#Pokémon Trainer|Alternate costumes]]==
[[File:Charizard SSE.jpg|thumb|The Pokémon Trainer and Lucas watch Charizard flying by]]
{|style="margin:1em auto 1em auto;text-align:center"
Charizard is first seen flying into a cave by {{SSBB|Lucas}} and the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}.  The Pokémon Trainer recognizes that Charizard is one of the Pokémon he had been trying to catch. Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer head into the cave to attempt to capture Charizard. In the process, they encounter {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and capture it as well. Eventually, Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer defeat Charizard in battle and capture it. Unlike many of the characters in ''The Subspace Emissary'', Charizard does not serve any story roles after its capture. The Pokémon Trainer retains this role and the player is free to choose whichever of the Pokémon he/she wants during play.

*The {{s|bulbapedia|Pokédex}} states that if the flame on Charmander, Charmeleon or Charizard's tail is extinguished, the Pokémon will die. Despite this, in ''Brawl'', Charizard can [[swim]]. When landing in the water, Charizard's entire body (including its tail) will submerge, but nothing happens to its stamina or the flame itself. However, when swimming at the water's surface, Charizard holds the tip of its tail above the water.
