What are the Pro's and Con's of having Charizard in FireRed?

Well I just got Pokemon FireRed and am thinking of picking Charizard as my starter. I haven’t opened it yet so if you think another starter is better (DON’T say Blastois, just cause it has an advantage) then please tell. Also tell me what EV training I should do for it and things like that.

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Pros-Flying type, so that takes away that Ground weakness.

-Can learn Earthquake, which covers 4x Rock Weakness.

-Pretty good stats

-Ok movepool____Cons-4x weakness to Rock

-3 weaknesses

-Doesn’t evolve as early. (level 16, then level 36)

-Not the biggest movepool___EVsFocus on Attack and Special Attack.Attack EV spread:http://pokemondb.net/ev/attackSpecial Attack EV spread:http://pokemondb.net/ev/spatk

I guess you could also focus on Defense, but not with this Charizard. With another Charizard, though.Defense EV spread:http://pokemondb.net/ev/defense___
