Today, I would like to confess that for the longest time, I've always HATED Charizard. Yep, all the way since Gen 1. Charmander was my first Pokemon ever. Most people get super attached to their first Starter, but not me. I hated it. When it evolved into charizard, I hated it being dual fire/flying. Pretty lame when a Raichu can own your very first Pokemon. I replaced my Charizard with an Arcanine, and I have been in love with it since.
Arcanine has been my favorite Pokemon since Gen 1, and I won countless battles with it. But now in this generation, I was a little iffy about Charizard. Two mega evolutions, and two new abilities that promised Charizard to be promising in battle. BUT my Arcanine still beat those Charizards. Wild charge made quick work of Mega Charizard Y, and outrage put Mega Charizard X in it's place. So for a while, I still hated Charizard.
One day, I got a Charmeleon in Wonder Trade. His stats were not great, it had 2 max IV stats (HP/Speed). But for some reason, I wanted to give Charizard a second chance. Not to mention that I have a Charizardite Y. So I trained my Charmeleon to see what it can do. My Charizard OWNS!!!! Unlike my own team, not many people are training Arcanines. Most people have Charizards or Blaziken (LOL, another joke Pokemon I've always hated). My Charizard and it's Drought ability just rules. Flame thrower puts so many pokemon in their place. Solar beam charges in same turn, so I own swamperts and other water Pokemon. Air Slash takes care of Blazikens and other fighting types. Focus blast may be risky, but I just owned an Umbreon in ONE HIT!!! So many great moves, and Mega Charizard Y is super fast! If only I can find a way to deal with Stealth Rock.
So I want to take this opportunity to apologize for doubting my Charizard. He is a valuable member of my team, and goes well with my Arcanine and Talonflame. May they win many battles in the future.
(P.S. Should I give Blaziken a chance? I do not have a Blazikenite.)
