Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

Viridi: Oh, wow! It's Charizard! Just look at those majestic wings!
Pit: Those wings might be majestic to look at, but they don't help much in the flying or gliding department.
Palutena: A little short in the flight department? That sounds like a familiar predicament.
Pit: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Viridi: Oh, Pit, denial doesn't look good on you. At least Charizard can use its wings for attacking.
Pit: And I can use my wings to fly! ...When Lady Palutena grants me the power of flight, that is.
Palutena: You know, I've always wondered if the power of flight would work anywhere besides your wings. Like your hair, for instance.
Pit: That's not funny! I'd go bald!
Palutena: But I digress. Charizard has another attack, called Flare Blitz. It's powerful but dangerous, even to Charizard. Either way, dodge the attack and keep your distance while waiting for your chance to strike back.
