* Paul's {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}, as well as {{AP|Tepig}}, were later in similar situations as Charmander, with the original Trainer releasing them due to them never winning any battles and Ash subsequently taking them in and managing to encourage them both to release their full potential.
** Coincidentally, they are all Fire-types, and the two other than Tepig have evolved twice.
* During ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock mentioned that Charizard was male when saying that Charizard could use ''his'' {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the Arbo-Tank, but since this only occurred in the dub it is uncertain how dependable this information is. Further hints to Charizard's gender were applied with the introduction of [[Charla]].

* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage.

* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]].

* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage, the following ones being {{AP|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Torterra}}.

* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]]. It fought and beat [[Noland's Articuno]] in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* Charizard is similar to [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] in several aspects. Both Pokémon began to disobey their respective Trainers after rapid evolution, only to begin following orders after each facing another Pokémon who severely injured them.
* At the moment, Charizard is the only Pokémon Ash has had that refused to obey him after evolving. Every other Pokémon obeyed him without question following their evolutions.
