Didn't comment for a while oh well.. LoL is too addictive but maybe I will be back
I wouldn't call everyone who uses charizard in OU a noob.. solar power have terrifing power if used right it can bea a huge late game cleanerjust feed him(LoL term..) just weaken the team a bit beat some counters and you get a sweep with choice scarf in the sun. (beat politoed mainly).
I am not updated with the last 3 months metagame but I guess it's the same since gen 6 is close.
My opinion: charizard is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overrated but, also kinda underrated in OU since it can be powerful with ninetales (but actually most people prefer volcarona for better type and stats)
But, as a fan favorite, a lot of people won't care and will want to use it in OU anyway.The problem is that even in the sun, it's easily revenge-killed by many common Pokémon in OU, and you don't only have to give it the Sun (because it lacks the bulk to set it up), it also needs Rapid Spin support, and even if it has them, it's still not hard to counter. While 100 Speed is good, many OU common Pokémon outspeed it (Lati@s, Starmie, Terrakion, Thundurus-T, Landorus, Starmie, Garchomp, Keldeo...) and most Choice Scarf users do too, and this, coupled with the damage that Solar Power causes, makes it unreliable. Apart from that, Weather changers are common in OU, so before sending Charizard, Politoed, Hippowdon, and Tyranitar (which counters it easily), must have been removed.
All in all, to use Charizard in a OU team, it needs too much support, and even if it gets it, it may not work, it can be useless.
I'll bet it's because a lot of people who use Ubers on Showdown and PO really don't know what they're doing, and are just grabbing teams of their favorites.Can I just say one thing: please stop using Charizard in Ubers. Please. It's sitting at about 1.029% usage, which is about 1% too high (I'm leaving room here for people who use it for the novelty of using Charizard). I know that having Solar Power-boosted attacks seems so cool, but a Timid Specs Charizard's Fire Blast is hitting exactly as hard as a Modest Specs Reshiram's Blue Flare, and Reshiram has a much better secondary STAB (not to mention half the Stealth Rock weakness, far more bulk, etc.). Reshiram literally outclasses Charizard at pretty much everything of note. Oh but that's not the worst of it, about 58.8% of Charizard in Ubers use Blaze. So yeah...stop doing that.
Am afraid to say that you have an illegal set there. Acrobatics and dragon dance/belly drum are incompatible, since the distribution didn't give it dd/belly drum .
aside that, the epic fire dragon has seen better days. belly zard is strong, but use fire punch>flare blitz for survivability. Focus punch is an option. standard special zards are seen often in sun, with solar power.
Charizard, one of those overused fire breathing dragon creatures. Since Gen 4, Charizard hard time switching in nowadays due to Stealth Rock. That doesn't mean it's useless, Solar Power makes it a force to reckon with.
Counters: Good luck switching into this guy as its nearly impossibru. So revenge killing is the best way to handle the beast. Stone Edge and Rock Slide kill him with ease. Make sure to have rocks up as well.

Charizard @ Salac Berry
252 Att/252 Speed
Adamant/Blaze
-Acrobatics
-Fire Punch
-Swords Dance
-Substitute
A speedy sweeper, pretty much. Force a swap out on something such as a steel type, and use that as a chance to set up a substitute. Salac Berry will active instantly if stealth rock is in play, and if not, you can just sub two more times for the effect. Just remember the dragon's HP IV will need to be messed with so it will be at exactly 25%.
Acrobatics will be at 165 power, fire punch will be at 168. After a swords dance, Charizard's attacks should be at 330 and 336 power. Use it in the sun, and Fire Punch will even reach 504 power! It's walled by rock types, but this can be solved with team support. You really won't want to use this Charizard until the very late game anyway. Speaking of rock types, though, you could squeeze in Earthquake or Focus Punch onto the set to handle them.
