Clarissa's Charizard

Clarissa's Charizard is the first Pokémon she obtained in Kanto as a Pokémon Trainer.

​Sparks: Indigo League
Clarissa obtained Charizard as a Charmander from Professor Oak. He is shown to be a very strong fighter in battles, winning Clarissa a gym badge on many occasions. Charmander is also a result of rapid evolution as he stayed in his first stage until he protected Clarissa, then evolved into a Charmeleon and directly into a Charizard. Charizard is one of two Pokemon that constantly travel with Clarissa and is seen as an older brother to her new ones.

Personality
Clarissa appears to be an angry fire-type to many Pokemon but is actually a big sweet heart. Charizard is shown to be fiercely loyal to his trainer and even preserved it flame in order to save her. Charizard is also quite shy about returning feelings for other Pokemon. This is shown when Clarissa's Oshawott (later Dewott and Samurott) showed it had feelings for him and he tries to let her down easy.

Charizard also has a friendly side to himself and easily made friends with Jax's Pichu despite their trainers not getting along at first.
