'''Charizard''' ({{ja|リザードン|Rizādon}}, ''Lizardon'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Charizard is no longer a standalone character, and is back under the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}’s control. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', Charizard is no longer a standalone character, and is back under the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}’s control. It was confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Along with the Pokémon Trainer, Charizard is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #35]]. Shin'ichirō Miki reprises his voiced role as Charizard in all regions, providing new clips. | ||
Charizard, alongside the rest of the Pokémon Trainer's team, is ranked | Charizard, alongside the rest of the Pokémon Trainer's team, is ranked as 23rd out of 82 on the official ''Ultimate'' [[tier list]]. This is a significant improvement over its placement in ''SSB4'', where it was ranked 42nd out of 54. | ||

Some of the changes to game mechanics have also hindered Charizard. The increased startup on grabs [[out of shield]] after blocking an attack has worsened Charizard's out of shield game (despite options such as up smash and Fly), and when combined with down throw's lost combo potential, Charizard's grab game has been worsened overall (though it still remains flexible in terms of power). The universal reductions to [[landing lag]] have overall hindered Charizard, as they allow characters to space their moves on shield more easily, though while they have significantly improved its landing options (most notably its neutral, up and down aerials), some of Charizard's aerials still remain highly punishable; this change also further compounds the loss of forward aerial as an option in neutral, its slightly worsened out of shield game, and its vulnerability to combos. Lastly, while Charizard's faster initial dash is unquestionably beneficial, the changes to initial dash mechanics cause Charizard's microspacing abilities to be weakened, especially through the use of moves like forward tilt. | Some of the changes to game mechanics have also hindered Charizard.

Overall, both Charizard's strengths and weaknesses have been further defined. While it has much better mobility and power, both points are now counterbalanced by new flaws from its moveset and changes to the game engine, such as a more polarized neutral game due to the streamlining of its previously most powerful tools and a higher vulnerability to combos. Game updates, however, have buffed Charizard as a standalone character, alleviating a few of its issues. As such, | Overall, both Charizard's strengths and weaknesses have been further defined.

Game updates, however, have buffed Charizard as a standalone character, alleviating a few of its issues. As such, Charizard fares slightly better than it did in its solo appearance in ''SSB4'', it instead has been retooled to fit more in-line with the "lightning bruiser" character among its partners, letting Charizard adapt to situations where its recovery, speed, endurance and/or KO power are needed, and may now replace itself with {{SSBU|Squirtle}} or {{SSBU|Ivysaur}} in cases where Charizard's weaknesses can be exploited and Squirtle's or Ivysaur's cannot. | ||
