LOL, Charizard. More power, more HP AND Earthquake?!!! Not even a competition.
All right, with a combination of PokeSav and PsyPoke's Damage Calculator, here are the results I reached:
Adamant Charizard @ Choice Band VS Impish Magcargo @ Shuca Berry
31 IVs each, with 252/252/4 EVs in ATK/HP/DEF and DEF/HP/ATK respectively.
Charizard's Stats
HP: 360
ATK: 293
DEF: 193
Magcargo's Stats
HP: 304
ATK: 137
DEF: 372
So, even with Choice Band, against Shuca-Magcargo, the most QuakeZard is doing is about 184-204.
Magcargo then uses Stone Edge on Charizard, for massive damage. The damage range is about 336-364, a definite OHKO.
The shaky accuracy is well worth bringing the stupid ugly oh-so-original fire-breathing dragon off of his high-horse. ._. The odds are much more in Magcargo's favor.
Thus Magcargo is the clear winner with Shuca Berry. Fire snails are much more original and better than the truly overdone fire-breathing dragon.
Neither Rock Slide nor Stone Edge are 100% accurate. Also, Charizard has more attack power and HP.
Basically, the point of this poll was to prove an anti-Charizard bias in the online Pokemon community. Anyone here who votes for Magcargo is clearly anti-Charizard biased.
Big Matty Kane said:Even when considering Choice Band, You could then argue Shell Smash + Rock Slide would be a better strategy. When considering DD, Curse owns Charizard. There is such a little ratio here for Charizard to win a 1 on 1 it's ridiculous it's getting this many votes.

I'm sorry.. I just see so much EQ and no Focus Blast.
Charizard of coarse.
Karpi said:Magcargo actually learns Ancientpower, which is 100% accurate and runs off of his higher special attack stat. Due to Charizard's 4x weakness to rock, the power difference isn't important. You use this move to kill it.
I voted for this a while ago. And I don't know who I voted for. :< Anyway Charizard is a over-rated pile of trash. I'd take lava snails over candle tailed dragon anyday. Plus Magcargo has a more creative design and speeds up the egg hatching process with it Flame Body ability
Lava trails over snail trails people! >
