Charmander is a pure Fire type 1* Raid Boss. Optimal raid counters include Ground, Rock, and Water types. Charmander evolves into the powerful Charizard and then into two Mega evolutions: Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y. The latter is one of the best Megas in the game.
It is an easy solo.
Charmander Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
