Lets not forget his charizard can also gigatamax and has a gigatamax watch or whatever it is called. Easily would become his strongest pokemon ever.
Yeah and he can mega evolve
Blaine, Drake, and Gary were good performances, but Ash has grown significantly stronger since then, and the trainers he's fought have been a lot stronger too. Paul could 2v6 OI Drake, and Alain would completely sweep both OI Drake and JL Gary with just MCX.
Ash has gotten better as a trainer I agree. Shouldn't that make these feats even more impressive for charizard since ash wasn't as good as a trainer back then and had to rely more on his pokemon's strength to carry him? Also yeah the trainers he's faced have been stronger But ash's charizard has also gotten alot stronger as well thanks to its training nothing saying that it can't match ash currently. Just because ash has gotten stronger and faced stronger opponents shouldn't take away from charizards feats
And Articuno was Charizard's last solid feat before jobbing to Dusclops.
Dusclops was kind of embarassing for it but its also ash's fault for calling seismic toss on a ghost type. Also Brandon is a super strong trainer. ANd also yeah articuno was the last Major feat of charizard but. i blame the writers for that because they barely gave him anything to do except for battling iris's dragonite.
Not as great as a feat because the battle didn't finish, and because Dragonite could still stand even after those hits.
Still a great feat given that charizard was dominating dragonite given that it was severely injured while charizard was unscathed. Had the battle been allowed to continue I have no doubt charizard would have won,fairly easily. (Also I'm pretty sure that the only pokemon that has been able to beat that dragonite up until this point was ash's krookadile, and that was in dragonites disobedience stage)
I should've worded it better. Charizard's feats are really good, but newer Pokemon Ash has caught have matched or surpassed them. Infernape swept half the team of trainer significantly stronger than JL Gary, Sceptile beat a legendary stronger than Articuno, Pikachu has beaten 4 (or 3.5) legendaries, and Greninja has traded blows with Champion's ace level Pokemon.
You listed 4 different pokemon who have all only matched one of charizards feats. None of them have surpassed all of them(Except maybe for greninja although it hasn't swept half a team it probably could) Infernape swept half of pauls team and I agree Paul is the better trainer and that feat is slightly stronger than charizards but the legendary that it did face,it didn't do to well against. Sceptile beat a legendary stronger than articuno , it had a little help from gible. Still an impressive feat but its really the only super impressive feat of sceptile(he did a couple of other key wins but it doesn't really compare to charizards feats) also Pikachu has beaten 3.5 legendaries thats true but he's also had some pretty embarassing losses especially after battling those legendaries.
Beats Regice<- draws with elekid at the beginning of DP
Draws with Latios <-loses to a snivy and panpour
Granted alola didn't do that although he had a little help with gladion's silvally from melmetal
Beating tapu koko however is definitely the most impressive feat from any of ash's mons.
However pikachu's inconsistency doesn't really put him above some of his other aces.
Logically, it would make sense that Ash's first powerhouse should be his strongest, especially as it kept training. We haven't been shown Charizard's full power yet, and I hope we get to see it soon.
Yeah I want to see charizard at full power as well
