Flare Blitz is Charizard's side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, based on the Fire-type attack in the Pokémon series and taking the place of Rock Smash from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Charizard flies directly ahead, covering itself in fire, and is knocked back slightly when it hits anything. Charizard is also dealt recoil damage throughout the entire attack.

This move also has two unlockable variants. The first is Blast Burn, another move from the Pokémon series, which is slower and does not travel as far but ends with a larger explosion that deals more damage, both to the opponent and Charizard. The second is Dragon Rush, a Dragon-type move from the Pokémon series, which is less powerful and does not have the fire effect but deals multiple hits and does not damage Charizard.
