Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Flare Blitz is Charizard's side special move, replacing Rock Smash which became its down special move following Charizard becoming an independent fighter. When used, Charizard cloaks itself in flames and corkscrews forward, dealing significant damage upon impact. Like in the main games, Charizard takes recoil damage when using this move.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Flare Blitz remains as Charizard's side special move, being much stronger than in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Flare Blitz is Charizard's second move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 as Charmeleon and upgrading Fire Spin into it instead of Fire Blast. The user charges forward, shielding itself, damaging and knocking back the targeted enemy. At level 13 or higher, the move also slows down the enemies for a short while after being thrown.
