Where the number comes from

The figure is the Pokédex weight that the games and pokemon.com give for Charizard: 90.5 kg, or 199.5 lb, at a height of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in). Scarlet and Violet and Sword and Shield list the same numbers.

Mega Evolution adds weight without adding height. Mega Charizard X is listed at 110.5 kg (243.6 lb) and Mega Charizard Y at 100.5 kg (221.6 lb), both still 1.7 m tall. Gigantamax Charizard, from Sword and Shield, is given as 28.0 m (91 ft 10 in) or taller, but its weight is shown only as ????.? kg.

Charizard does not appear in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the one game where individual Pokémon of the same species have different sizes and weights, so there are no small, large or Alpha weights for it.

Growing from Charmander

Charmander is 0.6 m tall and weighs 8.5 kg. At level 16 it evolves into Charmeleon (1.1 m, 19 kg), and at level 36 into Charizard. The last step is the big one: Charmeleon gains 0.6 m in height but nearly five times its weight. A fully grown Charizard weighs about ten and a half Charmanders.

Could something that heavy really fly?

The Pokédex says Charizard’s wings can carry it close to an altitude of 4,600 feet (about 1,400 m). At 90.5 kg it would be about five times heavier than the heaviest flying bird on record, a kori bustard of 18.14 kg (40 lb) shot in South Africa in 1936.

Its weight is not out of reach for a flying animal, though. The giant pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus is estimated at roughly 150 to 250 kg, and probably took off by vaulting on its forelimbs. But it needed a wingspan of about 10 to 11 m to do it. The games give no wingspan for Charizard, and its wings are drawn far smaller than that.

What its weight does in battle

Low Kick and Grass Knot hit harder the heavier the target is. Against Charizard, at 90.5 kg, they have 80 power, the bracket for 50.1 to 100 kg. Both Mega Evolutions are over 100 kg, so the same moves get 100 power against them.

Heavy Slam and Heat Crash compare the user’s weight with the target’s. A 460 kg Snorlax is more than five times heavier than Charizard, so its Heavy Slam hits Charizard at the full 120 power. Charizard can learn Heat Crash itself (TM189 in Scarlet and Violet). With its own 90.5 kg, the move has 120 power against targets up to about 18 kg, then drops through 100, 80 and 60 to 40 against anything over about 45 kg.
