How big is Charizard compared to Yoda?
Charizard measures 1.7 m (5.58 ft) from the ground up, and Yoda measures 66 cm (26 in) from the ground up. Yoda would have to grow by 158% to match Charizard, which is 2.58 times its height. Take 2 Yodas stacked up and you reach 1.32 m (4.33 ft), still 38 cm (15 in) short of Charizard; one more would overshoot by 28 cm (11 in). Charizard is written in single metres and Yoda in tens of centimetres, a whole band of scale apart.

Both figures, Charizard and Yoda, come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real-world size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; outline provenance is listed on the sources page.
Why this one is hard to judge by eye
Charizard is drawn about 5.74 times as wide as Yoda as well as 2.58 times its height, so the area it takes in the frame grows faster than the figure anyone quotes. Both shapes fit in a single glance here, which ought to make 2.58 to one obvious between Charizard and Yoda, and it is not: at this size the eye compares whole outlines while the figures above compare one axis. On the drawing above Charizard is about 1.25 times as wide as it is tall and Yoda about 1.78 times as tall as it is wide, so the two outlines fill the frame in ways that have nothing to do with the one axis being compared.
What each figure covers
Charizard. Charizard uses its official entry height, the same number across every game it appears in. Screen appearances vary wildly from it, which is a recurring problem with animated sizes.
Yoda. The height is the in-universe figure for the character. The puppet built for filming was made to that scale, which is rare enough to be worth noting.
Charizard and Yoda are both quoted as a height, which is what makes the ratio above a like-for-like figure.
What else is about that size?
Measured the same way, Charizard at 1.7 m sits within a tenth of Human at 1.71 m, American Bison at 1.75 m and C-3PO at 1.77 m. Yoda at 66 cm has Tennis Racket at 68.5 cm, Bulbasaur at 70 cm and Charmander at 60 cm for company, within a tenth. Swapping any of those in for Charizard would move its ratio to Yoda by less than 10%.
