Is Charizard or Venusaur better?

Who would win, Bulbasaur or Charmander?

In a one-on-one Pokémon battle, Bulbasaur has the type advantage (Grass/Poison vs. Charmander's pure Fire), making it stronger early on, especially against the first few Kanto gyms; however, as they evolve, Charmander's final form, Charizard, becomes a powerful Fire/Flying type with better overall stats and speed, capable of dominating later, but Bulbasaur (Venusaur) remains a tank with status moves, meaning Bulbasaur usually wins early game, while Charizard often dominates late game, making Bulbasaur a better choice for an easier start, but Charmander a strong contender for the full journey.

The initial disobedience stemmed from his evolution, making him too strong for Ash's current badges, but Ash's selfless act to save him from freezing melted that rebellious streak, leading to loyalty, though his pride remained.
