Thanks to its great Speed, high Special Attack, and Solar Power ability with sun support, Charizard is an amazing Choice Scarf user and wallbreaker. It's able to outspeed big threats such as Choice Scarf Excadrill, Choice Scarf Indeedee, and Dragapult and threaten them with its powerful attacks. Solar Power gives Charizard a 1.5x Special Attack boost under sun that makes it an incredibly strong wallbreaker capable of sweeping entire teams like Psychic and Fairy and allows it to OHKO threats such as Dragapult and Dracovish with Dragon Pulse after Stealth Rock. Flamethrower is used in situations where Charizard can't afford missing such as against Choice Scarf Excadrill, which can sweep Fire pretty easily without Charizard to revenge kill it. Fire Blast is the more powerful option, best suited when Charizard wants to deal as much damage as possible against the opposing team. Dragon Pulse hits threatening Dragon-types such as the aforementioned Dracovish and Dragapult and is overall amazing in the Dragon matchup, as Charizard is able to clean late-game. Focus Blast hits bulky Pokemon that resist its Fire STAB such as Tyranitar, Rhyperior, and Thick Fat Snorlax. Charizard should avoid switching in when Stealth Rock are up because its 4x weakness and the substantial Solar Power recoil adds up very quickly, and its teammates should find opportunities to remove them so Charizard has more freedom. Due to how powerful its Fire attacks are under sun, it should either break holes in the opposing team early so its teammates can clean up or be preserved for a late-game sweep. Charizard is also a great a revenge killer that can deal with threats such as Dracozolt and Hydreigon.

Torkoal is an amazing teammate because it sets up sun for Charizard with its Drought, can remove Stealth Rock with Rapid Spin, and can set its own Stealth Rock to chip Pokemon like Dragapult to support Charizard's wallbreaking. Cinderace can also get rid of hazards if they're not up on both sides with Court Change and can pivot with U-turn to give Charizard safe switches in. Cinderace also has High Jump Kick to hit threats such as Tyranitar and Snorlax. Ninetales is another sun setter that supports Charizard's Solar Power wallbreaking that can break holes in teams using its own sun-boosted Fire attacks, Solar Beam to hit Water- and Rock-types, and Nasty Plot to weaken the opposing team for Charizard. Rotom-H is a good teammate because it threatens Water-types with its Electric-type attacks and provides a second option for Ground immunity for Fire-type teams barring Mold Breaker users such as Excadrill. Arcanine is a strong physical wallbreaker with nice coverage in Wild Charge and Close Combat, as well as Extreme Speed to pick off weakened foes or put them in range for Charizard to revenge kill. Chandelure can be used as a second Choice Scarf user to threaten Dragapult and cripple annoying Pokemon such as Toxapex and Appletun by using Trick. Salazzle can use its Corrosion Toxic to spread poison and wear down Pokemon such as Toxapex that Charizard can't handle.

Need another line that goes in depth with Solar Power and how it boosts Charizard’s Special Attack and examples of Pokemon it can beat well thanks to this. It’s crucial to Charizard’s wallbreaking, so put it somewhere at the top where you talk about Charizard’s main role.

“ Arcanine's Intimidate is also useful for threats such as Dracovish and Dracozolt. ”
Remove this, this is unnecessary in my opinion considering it’s a very specific situation that Charizard actually wants the Intimidate drop.

Salazzle should be mentioned in team options because it’s Toxic is really good for wearing down bulky Pokemon to help Charizard sweep and give examples.

The word sun should not be capitalized. Nice work
