* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}''' - Charizard's viability as an attacker stemmed from its ''Fire Formation'' Poké-Body, which made Charizard's attacks deal 10 more damage for each {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon on the player's bench. With a bench full of Fire-type Pokémon, ''Fire Wing'' did 80 damage for only {{e|Fire}}, and ''Burning Tail'' did 130 damage for {{e|Fire}}{{e|Fire}}{{e|Colorless}}. | * '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}''' - Charizard's viability as an attacker stemmed from its ''Fire Formation'' Poké-Body, which made Charizard's attacks deal 10 more damage for each {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon on the player's bench.

* '''[[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]]''' - ''Burning Tail'', Charizard's second attack, required the player using it to discard one {{e|Fire}} Energy attached to Charizard. Typhlosion Prime's ''Afterburner'' Poké-Power could reattach that Energy to any Pokémon in play at the cost of placing one damage counter on it. Ninetales' ''Roast Reveal'' Poké-Power, and {{TCG|Junk Arm}} in later variants of the deck, also could discard Energy for later attachment through ''Afterburner''. | * '''[[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]]''' - ''Burning Tail'', Charizard's second attack, required the player using it to discard one {{e|Fire}} Energy attached to Charizard.

* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}/{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}''' - These two {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}} served essentially the same purpose, allowing the Charizard player to search Basic Pokémon out of his or her deck. Since the archetype needed at least three different evolved Pokémon in play to function ideally ({{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}, [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]], and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}), getting their respective Basic Pokémon in play quickly was vital. | * '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}/{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}''' - These two {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}} served essentially the same purpose, allowing the Charizard player to search Basic Pokémon out of his or her deck.

* '''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - | * '''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - The Charizard archetype focused primarily on two {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} into play. Rare Candy provided a means to do this more quickly. Since Charizard existed prior to the rules change at the advent of the [[Modified format (TCG)|2011-2012 modified format]], it was possible to utilize Rare Candy to evolve on a player's first turn. This allowed for occasional {{tt|donks|turn-one wins}} with ''Fire Wing''. | ||
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - | * '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Broken Time-Space served much the same purpose in the deck as Rare Candy. Rather than skipping an evolution stage, though, it permitted a player to evolve multiple times in a single turn. | ||
