The rise in battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where it single-handedly stopped a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. | The rise in battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where it single-handedly stopped a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its loyalty to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help {{p|Paras}} evolve. [[Cassandra]]'s grandmother explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore it did not respect him. Ironically a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at it with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall it. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon. | In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its loyalty to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help {{p|Paras}} evolve.

Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon, but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon proudly fought back but was unable to do anything. It then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was shaken off. | Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon, but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it refused to do.

Angry, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge its injured pride. It managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground, but retained its disobedience. | ||
Charizard's disloyalty began to cost Ash in the business end of his journey, throwing away a round with [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as Charizard simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win with {{m|Horn Drill}}. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed its mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seem evenly matched. Magmar drops Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regains the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial submission and then knocking it out with its powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}. | Charizard's disloyalty began to cost Ash in the business end of his journey, throwing away a round with [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as Charizard simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win with {{m|Horn Drill}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash, but took up the battle against {{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Charizard. It lasted longer than Bruteroot or Shellshocker had, but was ultimately defeated by being slammed into the ground. It was captured in a Clone Ball, much to Ash's anguish. Ash then helped to release Charizard and the others, and it ran back to continue fighting its clone. When Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and {{an|Mew}}, Charizard wept for its fallen master's sacrifice, its tears helping to regenerate him. Once things were back to normal, Charizard's memory was erased and it went back to its disobedience | In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role.

Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped his wings against the little Pikachu, before going to sleep to battle | Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''.

Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced onto the next round. | ||

Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''. It went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since its battle with Articuno and learned {{m|Steel Wing}}, but was put on the back foot when Dusclops uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, forcing Charizard to keep battling in its baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally Charizard snapped out of confusion and attacked with DragonBreath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match costs Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a single {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Squirtle, Pikachu and Bulbasaur managed to win the battle and the Symbol. Charizard returned to Charicific Valley where he still remains. | Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''.
