Charizard Raid Guide

Charizard FireFlying

Charizard is one of the biggest fan favorites in the Pokémon franchise. Aside from its astronomical popularity, Charizard is quite useful for the Ultra League and has two powerful Mega Evolutions to its credit, making it highly sought-after.

With Charizard in 3-Star Raids, you must be eager to catch a high IV/shiny version of this icon. This guide will highlight all about this Raid Boss, including the best counters to beat it easily. Due to its double weakness to Rock type attacks, Charizard can be beaten without much effort by using the right counters. High-level players can solo it while lower-level folks would need a team of 2-3. 

Charizard can be caught with the following CP values.

  • 1574 – 1651 CP (No weather boost, level 20, 100% IV)
  • 1968 – 2064 CP ( Sunny and Windy weather, level 25, 100% IV)
