To get Charmander in Pokemon Legends Z-A, you need to finish the 'A Call from Mable' side quest. Here are all the steps you need to follow in order to finish this quest:

• First, you need to finish the Lida fight in the main story's mission eight.
• Once you finish it, go to any Pokemon Center to rest and heal.
• After resting, you will get a call from Mable, who will invite you to her office.
• Get to the Pokemon Research Lab in the south of the map. This is where Mable's office is located.
• Enter her office, and you will see Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander standing in a circle. You must choose the Pokemon you want the most. In this case, you can pick Charmander.
• Making your final pick will complete the quest.

This was the simple mission you need to finish in order to unlock Charmander in Pokemon Legends Z-A. You can then evolve him into Charmeleon at level 16 and eventually into Charizard at level 36. There is also a chance of unlocking his mega evolution, which can turn him into Mega Charizard X and Y.

Apart from this, there are no extra steps to unlock Pokemon. However, the choice in Mable's office is a crucial one. If you pick Charizard, you have to let go of Squirtle and Bulbasaur, at least for some time. You may find them via a different method in the future, but until then, you will have to wait and keep looking patiently.

That being said, Charizard is a rather strong and popular choice. He has decent attack, speed, and special attack stats, which give him an edge over many other starter Pokemon available in the game.
