Charizard!
Description:
Charizard is the evolved form of Charmeleon, who is the evolved form of Charmander.
Charizard possess a strong innate sense of honor, relying on only claws and strength to hunt or ward off lesser foes and using their flaming breath only against opponents whom they would consider equals. Additionally, the Pokedex states that the power of their flame attacks is volatile enough that accidental or careless use can cause forest fires and other disasters.
In the show:
Charizard is arguably the main character Ash Ketchum's strongest Pokémon surpassing both Pikachu and Sceptile. Ash's Charizard started out as a Charmander which had been abandoned by another trainer. As the series continued, Charmander became loyal to Ash, then evolved into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon refused to obey him, which within the world of the franchise is something that Pokémon who become "stronger" and more experienced than their trainers sometimes do when they lose their respect for their trainer. Charmeleon evolved when Ash summoned it for protection from a wild Aerodactyl which intended to devour him. Ash was ultimately saved by Charizard, but it remained unclear in the series whether Charmeleon evolved to rescue Ash or just to fight Aerodactyl, which had injured it. Charizard did purposefully swoop down to catch Ash as he fell, however.

Stradegy:
One of the most common usage of Charizard would have to be this:
Charizard @ Salac Berry
-Belly Drum
-Earthquake
-Fire Punch
-Substitute/Iron Tail/Dragon Claw
This Charizard obviously takes advantage of it's egg move "Belly Drum." Belly Drum will cut Charizard's HP by half, but gives it maximum attack (+6). The idea is to substitute on Pokemon switching in, or if you choose on a third attack to Belly Drum at your first oppertunity. If you substitute Charizard's ability "Blaze will kick in and give you 1.5x on Fire Punch or any other fire attack. Charizard's berry will also activate giving it a speed boost. Now just sweep away. 4laugh
The other common Charizard set is:
Charizard @ Choice Specs
-Flamethrower
-Dragon Pulse
-Focus Blast
-Air Slash / HP Electric
The idea is very much self explanatory. Choose a +Speed nature, preferably Timid and sweep away.
Also, Overheat can replace Flamethrower if you desire but I reccomend flamethrower. Charizard is not all that great at switching in and out.
