Charamander generally doesn't have the offensive stats to go mixed; Houndour and Magby are much better than Charmander is in that regard. The only success I had with any mixed sets was a special Scarfmander with Rock Slide, which was able to hit its common switchins (Flash Fire Houndour and Mantyke, who is neutral to HP Grass).
We've pretty much decided that Dragon Dance is the best thing Charmander can do, as he's the only DDer that can really reliably deal with Bronzor, but otherwise yeah, he's outclassed by pretty much every other DDer.
I have actually been toying with the idea of Bellymander again... with a Baton-Passed speed boost, he could be halfway decent... maybe...
