Why is Dragonite not a legendary?

Dragonite isn't a Legendary because it's a pseudo-legendary, meaning it's a powerful, rare, three-stage Pokémon with high stats (BST 600) but is obtainable through normal evolution (Dratini > Dragonair > Dragonite), unlike true Legendaries which are often single-stage, unique, and tied to powerful lore, controlling nature rather than just being strong creatures. While extremely rare in its base form, Dragonite's existence in a standard evolution line, its ability to be found and trained like other powerful Pokémon, and its lack of direct world-controlling powers (like weather or creation) distinguish it from Mythical or Legendary Pokémon.

Other contenders include Uxie (outclassed by Cresselia) and sometimes Regigigas (crippled by its Slow Start ability), depending on whether "weak" means low stats or poor competitive viability despite high stats, according to users on Pokemon forums and databases.

Why did Charizard leave Ash?

Ash's Charizard didn't permanently leave; he chose to stay at Charicific Valley to train and become stronger after realizing he wasn't the most powerful there, a decision Ash respected, and they reunited for major battles later, with Charizard eventually returning to Professor Oak's lab after years of training. 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.
