A long-range attack that fires in a straight line of up to ten tiles. May cause a burn.

Pokémon Conquest

Flamethrower attacks in a straight line, hitting three spaces ahead. It shares this attack shape with Ice Beam. Flamethrower is the only move of Charizard.

Super Smash Bros. series

In the original Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Charizard will use Flamethrower side-to-side alternating sides when sent out of a Poké Ball.

Since becoming playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Flamethrower is Charizard's standard Special move. The direction of the flame can be tilted up and down, and its power weakens progressively with extended use.
