Legacy Moveset | |
Sub-optimal moveset with zero viability |
Fire Spin is Charizard’s best fast move and strictly superior to Ember.
Wing Attack is preferable to Air Slash and equal to Fire Spin if both have the same effectiveness.
Blast Burn makes Charizard one of the strongest Fire-type attackers.
Overheat is Charizard's best non-exclusive charged move and beats Fire Blast soundly.
Flamethrower has less cycle DPS than Overheat and is just a worse Blast Burn, but has advantages due to multiple charge bars.
Attackers may be inclined to throw Water-types at Charizard, in which case Air Slash edges out Fire Spin.
Ember and Wing Attack are worse versions of Fire Spin and Air Slash, respectively.
Dragon Claw is the preferred charge move due its early damage window, wide neutral coverage, and 3 bars.
Flamethrower is a decent alternative, but Blast Burn is decisively better.
As one of the most iconic Pokemon of all time, does Charizard live up to the hype? It’s a perfectly usable Fire-type attacker, although Charizard is hopelessly outclassed by Moltres, who has the same Fire / Flying typing... until Community Day rolled around. Even with a powerful Blast Burn, Charizard is still slightly edged out by Moltres, who has similar DPS but better bulk.
