Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon.

It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the

chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like
structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper
jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and
a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing. A single wing-finger is visible
through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its
robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on
each of its plantigrade feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame.

Charizard has two Mega Forms. Both feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright
underside reaching the lower jaw.

As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin
turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the
front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly
upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes
under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing
membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-
arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its
mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue. It is said that its new power turns it black and
creates more intense flames.

As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three
pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a
ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer digitigrade
feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated
from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose
the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail
has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer
flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than a jet fighter.

As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white
with several yellow diamonds located on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots
located on the front legs. The claws located on its hand and feet become longer and sharp. The feet
become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The wings are
transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade and two flames located on the
horns. The colossal, flamed wings were created from the energy of Gigantamaxing. The sclera of the
eyes becomes yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the
lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame
on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it. The flames within Gigantamax
Charizard burns hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. When it roars, the temperature can climb to
even higher lengths. The wings are capable of being hotter than magma which Charizard uses to
burn its opponents.[1]
Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains
experience. Its fiery breath is capable of melting boulders, massive glaciers, and has been known to
accidentally cause forest fires. In the past, Blast Burn was its signature move. Charizard typically
inhabit mountains and valleys, such as the Charicific Valley in Johto. The anime has shown that only
a weak Charizard would show off its power. It also showed that Charizard can swim underwater,
with Pokémon Origins further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning
underwater. The wings of Charizard can carry to an altitude of 4,600 feet.

Charizard is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Wildfire.
