====History====
[[File:Red Charmander PO.png|220px|thumb|left|As a Charmander]]
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential starter for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. In [[PO01|File 1: Red]], Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.

Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.


During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.

It was revealed in [[PO02| File 2: Cubone]] that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]].
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].

It was revealed in [[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]] that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}.


Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude.

In [[PO04|File 4: Charizard]], at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Blast}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, landing them in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}.


From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.

From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.


During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.

As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even able to beat powerful opponents its type is usually weak against.

Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.
