Dark Magician in early Yugioh is the same. Iconic but sucks. Funny thing is that Modern Charizard doesn't really need any Energy Cards to him. His ability automatically give you three energy right from your deck, and since his move is only two energy, you get a bonus one for other Pokemon.
if i recall what hurt charizard and most evolution pokemon early on were trainers like energy removal, super energy removal, and gust of wind also the high attack cost coupled with being a stage two made it slower than haymaker and stage one decks at the time and blastoise has the perfect ability to counter energy removal and super energy removal and venusaurs ability saved energy from being discarded from ko's and the drawback of the pokemon center trainer card
Personally, i've run it in two separate decks before (mostly for fun). One used it as a one off tech card/wall breaker to help a charmeleon/dodrio/hitmonchan build step up for a big finisher if its the final blow. After all, it doesn't matter how inefficient it is with energy if that is the last move of the match! Secondly, I've built a second deck around gastly and doduo and the charmander line heavily utilising DCEs. this deck stalls while building up charizard with energy, then lasses and hopes to carry through multiple pokemon. Gastly is able to then energy conversion to regain 2 dces, and is also crucial for fighting mr mime. I think its Charizard is a fun card, but certainly far from the top of the metagame
The design is really cool. The charmander family are designed to be splashable in every deck. I'm sure they were meant to be staples, but got the unsual underpowered evolution treatment. I think a charizard package could fill the niche that ponyta does, which is easily destroying scythers and keeping them off the bench, but with the added benefit of one-shotting stallers like lickitung.
What's your favorite way to play Charizard?

That's pretty nutty!
Didn't realize this was going to be a pokemon TCG video but the editing and content was good enough for me to watch the whole thing haha so good job!
Thanks! Hope you stick around!

Making it a game ender is a great way to utilize it!

@@YamiVT I could see it be splashable!
Anyone else Remember that infamous Pawn Stars moment? 🤣
That show is wild
If I HAVE to use Charizard, I'd go the Venusaur route. Otherwise, I'd run 4 Arcanine, 4 Charmeleon, and call the deck 8thrower
Sometimes you just gotta throw the flames!
