Charizard (/ˈtʃɑːrɪzɑːrd/), known in Japan as Lizardon (リザードン, Rizādon), is a Pokémon in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Atsuko Nishida,[1] Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue (Pokémon Red and Green in Japan) and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise. Shin-ichiro Miki voices Charizard in both the Japanese and English-language versions of the anime. An orange, dragon-like Pokémon, Charizard is the evolved form of Charmeleon and the final evolution of Charmander. It also has two "Mega Evolved" forms, Mega Charizard X and Y, that were likely both designed by Tomohiro Kitakaze, the designer of Mega Charizard X.[3] It also has a Gigantamax form in Pokémon Sword and Shield, which changes its appearance and size.
Charizard is featured in the Pokémon anime series, with the most recurring being owned by the main character of the series, Ash Ketchum. It is featured in printed adaptations such as Pokémon Adventures. Charizard has received positive reception from the media since its debut into the series.

Tomohiro Kitakaze is listed among the original character designers despite not having designed any Pokémon nor character in Pokémon Red and Green and Pokémon Gold and Silver, while having been a Pokémon character designer in Pokémon X and Y. This means that he's responsible for the only Pokémon X and Y design in Pokémon Origins: Mega Charizard X.
