When choosing your team to face off against Charizard remember this; use double Rock type move Pokémon only. Only use non rock type Pokémon if they are the mega evolutions of the above listed. Charizard is double weak to rock type attacks and the reason it can be defeated solo.
Movesets
When it comes time to making your counters team, take caution of Charizard’s following moves:
- Air Slash (Fast)
- Fire Spin Fire (Fast)
- Fire Blast Fire (Charged, 1 bar)
- Overheat Fire (Charged, 1 bar)
- Dragon Claw Dragon (Charged, 3 bars)
Weather Influence
With the reduction of Charizard to a tier 3 raid, weather should not affect the outcome of the raid. Using an all Rock team should make it fairly easy to beat no matter the weather.
Partly Cloudy weather will make this a breeze. Sunny weather will make Charizard’s moveset hit extra hard, but you should be able to beat it just the same. It may just take a couple extra rock Pokémon. If you want a boosted Charizard to catch after the raid, then look for them during Sunny and Windy weather.Final Notes
- Take advantage of Electric and Water types when battling against Charizard in Rainy weather or use your Rock types in Partly Cloudy weather
- To catch weather boosted Charizard, raid during Sunny or Windy weather
- A level 20, 100% IV Charizard will be 1651 CP, and weather boosted will be 2064 CP
- Shiny Charizard can be caught from raids.
