Geez! I`ve had enough of these Charizard articles.I use one myself so here`s what I think.People keep on saying Charizard sucks because you have to discard energy. So what? that`s the only price you pay for 120hp,100dmg,and resistance to rock.Just slap 8+ energies on him before you send him out. I`m sure you could also hold the oppenent`s pokemon at bay with Charmeleon before you evolve.Don`t forget you can use DCE too because of Charizrd`s pokemon power.Now,I`m not saying he`s god or anything,I`m just saying he doesn`t suck. Another thing,why the h*** are people comparing Charizard to Chansey? they are two totally different pokemon that have different purposes. Chansey is a staller and Charizard is an attacker.You wouldn`t use Chansey to take all 6 prizes would you? And you wouldn`t use Charizard just to stall right? I use Chansey to stall for Charizard while I get all the energies on him. So DO NOT compare Chansey to Charizard One last thing. I know this is kind of off the subject but why does Charizard have a resistance to rock? shouldn`t rock be resistant to fire?
