PvP Rating ExplanationĪ fan-favorite from other Pokemon games, Charizard first gained popularity in PvP during the Silph Arena's Kingdom Cup. Fire Blast costs too much energy, and Flamethrower is a direct downgrade of Blast Burn. Dragon Claw is recommended for its cheaper energy cost and Dragon-type coverage. The update to Overheat following the Dec 2019 rebalance makes it a decent choice if Blast Burn is unavailable, but a significant self debuff of -2 ATK makes it more risky and less reliable. Even when resisted, Blast Burn would still have a greater DPE value than neutral Dragon Claw, but not when it would be doubly resisted. An incredible 2.2 DPE (Damage Per Energy) rating allows Charizard to output huge amounts of damage without paying high energy costs. Air Slash is just inferior to Wing Attackīlast Burn is a limited move obtained through Community Day events, but it's mandatory for optimal usage of Charizard. Dragon Breath is a powerful move, but lacks STAB, and generally falls behind against neutral opponents. Fire Spin is a decent move, but is generally outclassed by Wing Attack because other Fire-type Pokemon such as Talonflame and Ninetales are better at dealing consistent Fire damage. Wing Attack is the most preferable Fast Attack on Charizard due to its superior energy generation, while maintaining decent DPT. Fire Blast and Overheat are poor due to their late damage windows and charge time.įire Spin or Wing Attack* or Dragon Breath* + Blast Burn* and Dragon Claw.Return is inferior in terms of damage, but is much harder to dodge.įlamethrower is a decent alternative, but Blast Burn is decisively better. Return has no purposes on offensive Charizard.Īttackers may be inclined to throw Water-types at Charizard, in which case Air Slash edges out Fire Spin.Įmber and Wing Attack are worse versions of Fire Spin and Air Slash, respectively.ĭragon Claw is the preferred charge move due its early damage window, wide neutral coverage, neutral damage to Rock Types, and 3 bars.Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw can work as a pseudo-dragon attacker, and are only useful for preparing a Mega Charizard X.Overheat is Charizard's best non-exclusive charged move and beats Fire Blast soundly.įlamethrower has less cycle DPS than Overheat and is just a worse Blast Burn, but has advantages due to multiple charge bars.
Wing Attack* is preferable to Air Slash and equal to Fire Spin if both have the same effectiveness.īlast Burn makes Charizard one of the strongest Fire-type attackers. Fire Spin is Charizard’s best fast move and strictly superior to Ember.
