The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Flamethrower (かえんほうしゃ, Flamethrower) is Charizard's neutral special move.
Overview
Charizard shoots a stream of flames from its mouth, which can be directed up or down by tilting the control stick in a particular direction. The flame dies down the longer the button is held, but it will never stop; however, it will become extremely small.
Overall this attack is very similar to to Bowser's Fire Breath, though the flames are smaller and have longer range.
As Charizard's down throw
Charizard also uses Flamethrower in its down throw: Charizard throws its opponent to the ground, and then burns them with Flamethrower. It has mainly horizontal knockback, and it cannot be reflected, even by a Franklin Badge. In SSB4, prior to patch 1.0.8, it could KO at higher levels of damage, but could be DI'd out of. Following the patch, however, it is now a combo throw, following up into a forward aerial until around 60%, and Charizard's up throw is now its KO throw. This inflicts a total of 6% damage.
As Charizard's attack as a Poké Ball
Charizard appears from a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, where it uses Flamethrower. Charizard alternates between breathing fire to the left then right.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the variations:
1. Flamethrower | 2. Fire Fang | 3. Fireball Cannon |
---|---|---|
"Breathe fire on your opponents. Can be aimed slightly. The longer you use it, the weaker it gets." | "A short-range fire-breathing attack. Hits quickly and continuously to rack up damage." | "Fires distinct balls of fire that travel far but do less damage than Flamethrower." |
- Flamethrower: Default.
- Fire Fang: Has low range, but hits quickly. Releasing the button ends the move with a small explosion.
- Fireball Cannon: Shoot fireballs that travel further and only weaken slightly, but also don't deal as much damage.
Use by other Pokémon
- Charmander: When Charmander appears in Saffron City, it uses Flamethrower in one direction by breathing fire from its mouth.
- Charizard (Poké Ball): See above.
- Cyndaquil: Cyndaquil appears from a Poké Ball in Melee, where it uses Flamethrower in one direction, like Charmander. Cyndaquil generates the fire from the flame on its back.
Origin

Flamethrower is a special Fire-type attack introduced in Generation I, with high power and a small chance to burn the opponent. It involves the user shooting a stream of fire, usually from its mouth, at the opponent.
Fire Fang, one of this move's custom variations, is a physical Fire-type attack introduced in Generation IV. It involves the user biting the opponent with fiery fangs and, while not very powerful, it has a small chance to burn the opponent and/or make it flinch.
In the Pokémon games, both moves can be learned by Charizard by simply leveling up in all games since their respective introduction.
