Charmeleon is a middle-evo Fire type. Charizard wouldn't be really redundant considering it's differently-typed on evolution and Gym Leaders are proven to be mildly redundant in some cases as well. Plus, there would be no difference except the names and redundancy if you had 4 magmars and a charizard in the gym as it stands right now, as opposed to 4 different pure fire types.

For that matter I think Blaine had a Ponyta in his team as well, but I may not recall correctly. So a basic and medium fire type, a fire-flying final, and two other fire finals. That would probably cinch victory (you could skip Ponyta for a 4th fire final if you want this to be hard hard, but I wouldn't say that).
