Can Charizard have drought? (is Charizard weak to drought?)

I first came across Charizard in elementary school through a friend. It did not take me too long to realize that Charizard was immune to some elements.

I was especially intrigued by its ability drought benefits, especially upon Mega Evolution, and like many, wondered if the natural Charizard had the ability Drought.

Since I have been a Charizard enthusiast for years, I will help you find out if Charizard can have Drought and the benefits of having the ability.
