* NormalFishInATinyPond: Inverted. This episode establishes that, for all his past badassery, Ash's Charizard is really not that exceptional by the standards of his species. When up against the Charizard of the Charicific valley (which are admittedly among the strongest on earth), each of them defeats him one or two hits at most. They are also a LOT bigger than him. Charizard decides to leave his tiny pond and train with the big fishes.

* DeusExitMachina: Charizard gets written off of Ash's team simply because he would end up breaking ninety percent of the gym battles this arc.[[note]]Falkner already had to have his team completely reworked just so he could pose a threat to Ash's Charizard.[[/note]] Misty and Brock even [[LampshadeHanging hang a lampshade]] by lightly reprimanding Ash on how it was kind of unfair Ash has Charizard to fall back on and how most battles with him likely wouldn't be challenging before the episode proper begins.

!!Japanese Title: ''The Valley of Lizardon! Until We Meet Again!!''
!!!Original Airdate: February 10th, 2000
!!!US Airdate: February 3rd, 2001
When Ash hears of the nearby Charicific Valley, he is sure a quick trip would be just the thing to reignite his Charizard's flagging spirits. When they reach the valley, though, they find its dragon denizens anything but cordial. Judged weak, and denied entrance to the valley, Charizard is left more dejected than ever.

* ShaggyDogStory: Team Rocket took pity on Charizard's plight, that they ''willingly'' sacrificed their HumongousMecha for the sake of helping Charizard earn entry to the Charicific Valley. Except Liza knows that beating the mech wasn't a testament to Charizard's strength. She was only allowing Charizard entry because of his determination to prove himself.
