When an exclamation mark appears above its head, walk around until the exclamation mark turns red, then press A to get the hidden item.

Once you have obtained Charizard, you must press Y to open the Poke Ride menu. Then, select Charizard and choose where you want to go!

Tips

For all the Poké Ride Pokémon other than Stoutland Search and Charizard Glide, hold the B button to move faster. For Stoutland Search, the B button is used to search for hidden items, while Charizard Glide can't be controlled at all (you just select the location you want to go to and it automatically takes you there).

For Stoutland Search, watch for an exclamation mark to appear over your head when a hidden item is nearby. When the exclamation mark turns red, press the A button to get the hidden item.

Once you move a large block into a hole with Machamp Shove, you won't need to move it back into the hole again should you come back to the area later on.
