Better odds of surviving until hospitalisation than eating a Flamethrower or Fire Blast
Razor leaf is like having hundreds of knives thrown at you simultaneously. Hydro pump you basically die almost instantly. There’s a reason water jet can be used to cut metals.
I don't know if it's right but interesting nonetheless
A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren't great. At 20ft away you'll just get really wet. Their numbers aren't wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.
True, water has never killed anyone
Pick Charmander, it eventually becomes Charizard which is
big lizardy looking thing
has large wings
breathes fire
and also
is not Dragon type
cannot learn Fly
Gen 1 was great but it often didn’t make a lot of sense.
He could learn Fly in the Yellow edition then you could transfer it to red/blue.
The OG Pokemon was so unbalanced and had such a huge bias in favor of Grass types that I legitimately don't understand why anybody would pick the other two unless they were doing a challenge run.
And fire types SUCK SO BAD. They can't kill anything. They don't even do that much damage to the grass types who just Leech Seed them all to death.
I think this is completely intentional design. Picking charmander was literally intended to be the OG challenge run
try surviving razor leaves or a hydro pump irl
