[edit] Availability
The only way to get Charizard is to evolve a Charmeleon.
[edit] Name origin
Charizard's name is probably a portmanteau of char and lizard. The Japanese name, Rizaadon, is probably a combination of a pronunciation of the word "Lizard" and the Japanese word "don."
[edit] Strategy
Since Charizard's Special Attack is about 30% higher than its physical Attack, it is best by far using Fire moves than anything else. Defensively, it's Special Defense is about 9% higher than it's Physical, it is better on Pokémon using Special attack types than physical. It is double weak to Rock; single weak to Water, Ice (only in Red, Blue and Yellow) and Electric; single resistant to Fighting, Fire and Steel; double resistant to Bug and Grass; and immune to Ground.
If you need to fight a Charizard, the use the following chart (the number in the parentheses - the actual damage/physical damage without weakness/resistance ratio: multiply the number by the base damage of the move and the attack/special attack of the attacking Pokémon - and the bigger the result, the more damage the move will do):
- Rock - (4)
- Water, Electric, Ice (Only in Red, Blue and Yellow) - (1.84)
- Flying, Ghost, Normal, Poison - (1)
- Dark, Dragon, Ice (Not in Red, Blue and Yellow), Psychic - (0.92)
- Fighting, Steel - (0.5)
- Fire - (0.46)
- Bug - (0.25)
- Grass - (0.23)
- Ground - Immune
[edit] Trivia
- With Charizard's total stats at 1767 in all Pokémon games except Red/Blue/Yellow, Charizard has the highest total stats of the three fully evolved forms of the original starter Pokémon (as compared with Blastoise's total stats at 1759, and Venusaur's at 1749).
- When the Pokémon Trading Card Game first started to become widespread in North America, the Base Set Charizard card was very popular and always in high demand. In trading card magazines, the card's value sometimes exceeded one hundred dollars.

[edit] Naturally learnt attacks
These are attacks which are learnt naturally by Charizard — that is, learnt without the use of a TM or HM (automatically learned once they reach a certain level).
The rows entitled with acronyms are used to identify at what level the Pokémon learns that attack in that game. For example, if the number "7" was in a row entitled RGB beside an attack named "Foobar", than that Pokémon would learn the attack "Foobar" at level seven in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green.
Any attacks which are learned at "Catch" means that they already know that attack when they are caught, or learn it before evolving into this form. N/A means that that attack is not learnable in that game. Any attacks which are learned a "Evolve" are learned when they evolve.
RGB stands for Red/Green/Blue, Y stands for Yellow, GSC stands for Gold, Silver, Crystal, RS stands for Ruby/Sapphire, FRLG stands for FireRed/LeafGreen, and GSC/FRLG stands for Gold/Silver/Crystal/FireRed/LeafGreen.
