Charizard is Leon's main partner Pokémon in the games. It took part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] alongside Leon when he was ten years old, and they claimed victory in the Champion Cup on their first attempt. Since that victory, Leon and Charizard remained unbeaten in both League and exhibition matches until they were defeated by the {{player}} during the events of {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Charizard can be first seen during the game's introductory cutscene with Leon, having an exhibition match against [[Raihan]] and his {{p|Duraludon}}. The player first meets Chairzard in person in [[Wedgehurst]] with his Trainer. Throughout the game, Charizard is commonly seen alongside Leon outside of battle. Due to Leon's poor sense of direction, he often gets lost, and having to rely on Charizard to lead him to his destination.
 
During the battle against {{p|Eternatus}}, Charizard was the final Pokémon Leon used to wear it down before attempting to capture it. Just before Eternatus broke out of Leon's Poké Ball, Charizard used the last of its energy to shield the player and [[Hop]] from the blast.


Leon's signature pose is called the Charizard pose, named after his Charizard.
