try surviving razor leaves or a hydro pump irl

Better odds of surviving until hospitalisation than eating a Flamethrower or Fire Blast

Razor leaf is like having hundreds of knives thrown at you simultaneously. Hydro pump you basically die almost instantly. There’s a reason water jet can be used to cut metals.

The water jets they use to cut metal only work because the stream is so narrow. Hydro pump is more like getting hit with multiple full-blast fire hoses at once

Found this article about this Turtles with cannons: an analysis of the dynamics of a Blastoise’s Hydro Pump

I don't know if it's right but interesting nonetheless

A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren't great. At 20ft away you'll just get really wet. Their numbers aren't wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.
