Name origin

Charizard's name is a combination of the words char, to burn, and lizard. Lizardon, on the other hand, is a corruption of lizard.

Charizard resembles the European dragon, which had many forms in the legends that described it. Although it is a Fire-type Pokémon, it can learn Dragon-type attacks.

In the anime

Ash Ketchum has a Charizard that he obtained as a Charmander in Charmander the Stray Pokémon. It evolved into Charmeleon in March of the Exeggutor Squad and quickly evolved again into Charizard in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the Orange Islands episode Charizard Chills, Charizard refused to obey Ash. After Charizard Chills, however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than Pikachu.

When James was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam, he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal in EP056.

In EP134, Ash left his Charizard in the Charicific Valley with Lisa.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in EP248 in an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu. It was up against Ash's Totodile.
