Quick facts

About Gigantamax Charizard

Gigantamax Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type raid boss with devastating G-Max flame attacks. It's fragile to Rock (4×), Water, and Electric moves — Rock-types in particular can punish its Flying typing heavily. This guide covers the best counters, move sets to watch, recommended team sizes, and catch tips.

Blast Burn is devastating — preserve shields for your highest DPS Rock or Water attackers when you see it.

Team Size

15-20 trainers are required.

Recommended items

• Max Revives
• Max Potions
• Razz / Golden Razz for catch

When To Avoid

Avoid using Grass, Bug, and Fairy counters — they deal low damage and risk fainting quickly. Be cautious using fragile Rock types without bulk.

Raid Strategy & Catch Tips

If Charizard uses Air Slash or Blast Burn, protect your strongest Rock attackers with shields. After the raid, use Golden Razz and curve + Excellent throws to maximize catch chances.
