Alain met Charizard as a {{p|Charmander}} while he was still one of {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s assistants. Eventually, he took Charmander with him on his {{pkmn|journey}} to find [[Mega Stone]]s.

After Alain left [[Lysandre Labs]] to help Mairin's [[Chespie]] wake up from its coma, Charizard battled a Trainer's Mega {{p|Banette}}.

Charizard made its main series debut in ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', where it was first used to save [[Ash's Pikachu]] from {{TRT}} and saving him from a nasty fall as well. It was then used in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Greninja}}. Charizard was able to hold the upper hand despite a type-disadvantage, destroying Greninja's {{m|Water Shuriken}} with Dragon Claw, and dodging Greninja's attempts to hit it with {{m|Cut}}. It retaliated with Flamethrower, hitting Greninja. Afterward, Charizard Mega Evolved and attacked with Dragon Claw, although Greninja countered with Cut. Greninja attempted to confound Charizard with {{m|Double Team}}, but the {{pkmn|category|Flame Pokémon}} countered by destroying all the copies with Flamethrower. Greninja then attempted to hit Charizard with a surprise {{m|Aerial Ace}} attack, but Charizard revealed its newly-learned {{m|Thunder Punch}} to knock Greninja away. Greninja tried to retaliate with Water Shuriken, but Charizard proved to be faster and hit it with a second Thunder Punch. When the battle seemed to be over, Greninja transformed into its Ash-Greninja Form and managed to get a good hit on Charizard. It, however, quickly recovered and used Thunder Punch, which Greninja blocked with Cut. Charizard was then able to break through Cut and finished Greninja off with Blast Burn.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Charizard helped to save Pikachu from Team Rocket. During the battle, it was seen to be no longer wearing its Charizardite X, which Alain had discarded as revealed in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''. At the end of the episode, Charizard and its Trainer received medals from Professor Sycamore for their heroic efforts against Team Flare. It was seen by Alain's side in [[Frost Cavern]] during Alain's search for Mega Stones.

Charizard made a cameo appearance in a flashback in [[JN108]].
