Charizard (Japanese リザードン "Lizardon", German Glurak, French Dracaufeu) is a fire/flying-type Pokémon, and the fully evolved form of Charmander. In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, it would eventually come out of a Poké Ball, spitting fire to either sides of it, burning the characters.

It also appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, it is not an actual new character, per se, but rather one of the Pokémon used by the Pokémon Trainer, the real character. However, Charizard, as well as Squirtle and Ivysaur, does all the fighting for the Pokémon Trainer. Charizard is the last Pokémon to be used by Pokémon Trainer, coming after Squirtle and Ivysaur. When Pokémon Change is used while Ivysaur is in use, Ivysaur will be returned, and Charizard will be sent out. After Charizard, the Pokémon queue will start with Squirtle again. Charizard is the heaviest of the group. Charizard is also able to glide.

In the 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 he is the third Pokémon he must collect. After traveling through the mountain, Pokémon Trainer and Lucas find Charizard who attacks them at sight. The two battle the large Pokémon and after defeat, Charizard is turned to a trophy. The trainer collects the trophy and Charizard joins the party.

It's hard to believe, but this massive flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

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.
