I was looking through the analysis of Charizard and was wondering why I didn't see an option for a Mixed Charizard . . . . maybe he doesn't do it well. But here is what I came up with that would do some great coverage and still be an option.

Hasty or Naive . . . either way you are going to be weak. Charizard is not a tank and can't take a lot of hits so I don't think it will make a huge difference as to which you use.

Life Orb will offer more damage and allow Charizard to stay in without having to switch . . . but Charizard isn't the fastest Pokemon so Scarf may be the way to go . . .

. . . just throwing this out there and seeing what the smogonites think about this.

Please give damage calcs if your going to give a gimmick set. IMO, your better off using flare blitz than outrage. Flare Blitz has stab and doesnt lock you into an attack. Dragon Claw can be used over Air Slash, since air slash only covers fighting types which dont resist charizards other attacks, and is useless after an overheat.

Usually, the point of mixed sets is to kill specific walls, which Charizard won't do with that set. The Choice Specs set in the analysis can, since it has the option of Focus Punch to off Blissey and Snorlax.
