Guide:Charizard Strategies

### Support

Charizard is an All-Rounder that puts teams on the back foot. It does take some time to set up this specific Pokemon. While it does take some time for Charizard to reach it's power spike, once you acquire your Unite Move, you may afford to take a more aggressive stance in team battles.

## Move Tips

### Fire Punch / Flare Blitz

Charizard's Fire Punch and Flare Blitz moves at Levels 5 and 7 will provide you the most engagement in close-quarters team battles if you want to concentrate on direct offensive. These two maneuvers provide Charizard the much-needed dash moves it needs to harm enemies while while getting near to them. Considering how easy Charizard may move while striking, be careful to constantly be in the area where your adversary wants to flee so you can pin them down. Charizard doesn't have a lot of HP to rely on, so you need to strike hard and fast.

### Flamethrower / Fire Blast

Flamethrower at level five and Fire Blast at level seven are your best options if you want to avoid getting sucked into a team fight and prefer to poke foes from a distance. Charizard's Flamethrower increases its movement speed, enabling better placement and maintaining a safe distance. Enemies caught inside the ring have their movement speed decreased by Fire Blast. This makes it the perfect spell to cast during a team fight, as it slows down enemies making ripe Aeos Energy for you and your team. However, some Pokemon have a move to get out of this or may have X Speed or Full Heal.

## Strengths / Weaknesses

* Strong Unite Move
* Critical Hit-Rate Damage Over Time
* Slow Early Game unless you Jungle, and even though it can sometimes be tedious

## Recommended Builds

In addition to reducing enemy movement speed, Fire Blast also deals continuous burn damage over time, and provides a zoning effect on any slower enemy Pokemon that wish to assist Charizard.

### High Mobility

Using Flare Blitz and Flamethrower to attack the target, while sticking to it, is yet another damage build. You need to play safe by level 9 to make this build work. You can level up quicker by going to the jungle. Your attacks and moves are strengthened by the Muscle Band, Scope Lens, and Float Stone. As well as increasing mobility, Float Stone also increases your movement speed. For more HP and static damage, you can replace Scope Lens with Weakness Policy.

A sudden boost in speed is provided by the default battle item for this build, X Speed. Eject Button can also be equipped to achieve similar results.

#### Unite Move

Charizard gains temporary empowerment after using a Seismic Slam to suplex an opponent. Charizard can now move more quickly, do more damage, and climb walls thanks to this. Before utilising Seismic Slam, finish off your other moves so you may concentrate on doing great damage with your normal strikes for more damage output.
