I remember when I was still somewhat active on the ladder, I had Charizard on my team and used the standard set but later on, I swapped out his Choice Scarf for a Fire Gem.

I found it a lot more effective to use since it gave Charizard a nice boost in power while giving him the flexibility to deal with threats like Heatran. I wonder if an Expert Belt would've done just as well though.
