I know that obviously it should have 20-25+ ivs in all stats. Also, should it have its hidden ability, solar beam instead of blaze? What nature is more valuable, timid or modest. What hidden power should it have? Thanks.

It clearly depends on how you want to play him. For a physical set with dragon dance/belly drum/zard X, he should be jolly with Blaze since h.a is useless on physical zard

 

For a special set, use a timid nature (speed > power unless the pokemon is very slow) with h.a if you want to play him under sun with solar beam. If not, run blaze if you are waiting for zard Y megastone. In general, with no megastone, i think that his best set is timid + solar power with sun team support.

 

A specially based mixed zard (especially with Y mega evolution) with a hasty nature and earthquake can be played but it clearly targets Heatran who isn't available on PRO so it is less useful.

 

Zard doesn't need hidden power, he already has good special moves coverage with stab fire blast, air slash, dragon pulse, solar beam and roost to keep it healthy.

The most important attribute for Charizard is mega evolution, and since that's not available Charizard is not really that strong in PRO. That being said, it's still viable to play Charizard, and the best nature would be timid(because of the lack of choice spec), ability could be Solar Beam if you want to put him into a Sun Team, otherwise Blaze is ok. EV full speed + spatk.
