Charizard is an excellent revenge killer and late-game sweeper for Flying-type teams due to its solid offensive stats and diverse movepool. It has great coverage in the form of Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast. The former allows it to hit Dragon-types, while the latter allows it to deal with Rock-types like Tyranitar. Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed other common users like Galarian Darmanitan, Excadrill, and Dracovish. Charizard's part-Fire typing allows it to beat Steel- and Ice-type teams.

Xatu is a great teammate, as it can bounce back Stealth Rock, which prevents Charizard from suffering residual damage while withering down the opposing team for it. It also makes those matchups extremely favorable when paired with Hawlucha. Furthermore, it can sweep a weakened Dragon-type team. Noivern can further support it in this matchup, being able to remove Stealth Rock with Defog. Charizard is complemented by Gyarados, which can defeat Water-types for it. Corviknight is an excellent partner because it can take hits from Rock-types while breaking down the opposing Pokemon.

-This feels a bit barren when it comes to info; I'd recommend adding a general statement about Charizard's role on Flying teams.
-Fire Blast can be slashed behind Flamethrower, wynaut.
-Optional, but perhaps mention a teammate as Defog support? Charizard really hates Stealth Rock.

QC 1/2

It has great coverage in the form of Dragon Pulse and Focus Blast. The former allows it to hit Dragon-types, (AC) while the latter allows it to deal with Rock-types like Tyranitar. (Merged the two sentences, I think it flows better) Choice Scarf allows it to outspeed other common users like Darmanitan-Galar Galarian Darmanitan, Excadrill, and Dracovish. Charizard's part-Fire typing allows it to beat Steel- and Ice-type teams.

Xatu is a great teammate, (AC) as it can bounce back Stealth Rock, which prevents Charizard from suffering residual damage while withering down the opposing team for it.
