Zapdos used to be on par with Sudowoodo in terms of time, but Thunder Shock for Zapdos day raised its relevance overall, including this battle against Charizard. Rayquaza does faint a lot but it can dole out decent enough damage, that is if you kept a Rayquaza with its overall worst charged move: Ancient Power. if you like Regirock here is a chance to let it shine. Yes, Regirock actually does some decent damage, and matches Tyranitar for the least amount of deaths. Raikou takes advantage of that Electric weakness that Charizard has and shows why it is one of the best generalists and electric types in the meta game. Solrock and Lunatone are basically the same Pokémon in Go, with the main differences being looks, Lunatone having Moonblast, and Solrock having Solar Beam.That is why these two are together, they perform similarly and are decent Rock counters. Solrock Rock Psychic Lunatone Rock Psychic Other Counters (Italics Denote Legacy Movesets) The only other high damage dealing counter with less deaths would be the king Tyranitar. Kyogre is the first non-rock counter to make the list, being able to beat out other Rock types just because its sheer power and total damage output. Golem, in both normal and Alolan form, is a great counter to Charizard, having decent moves, a 211 attack stat, and being resistant to all moves save for Dragon Claw, with a double resistant to Flying type moves in its Alolan form. Rock Slide is a better move than Stone Edge, and Omastar’s stats are very similar to Golem, so it is a fine addition to a Charizard raid team. Omastar with its legacy moveset is a great Rock type attacker, being better than even Golem in some cases, this being one of them due to Omastar’s double resistance to Fire moves. Combine that fact with Charizard’s dual weakness to Rock type attacks and you have a recipe for disaster for the not-Dragon. Tyranitar is without a doubt the best counter to anything that is weak to a few rocks chucked at them. Dragon Claw is best kept to surprise Dragon type attackers in gyms like Dragonite and Rayquaza, if you have it in a gym for whatever reason. Ember is a trophy at best, as is Flamethrower with the advent of Blast Burn. In any case, if you have one, it has some small utility against Grass and Bug types if weather is Windy. As far as being a mixed type attacker, Wing Attack is superior to Air Slash, although not by terribly much. Which makes sense, as Blast Burn is indeed the best available Fire type charge move. Blast Burn outdoes Overheat in any available category with any available fast move. An important consideration however, is while these are accurate DPS listings, some of these moveset combination are impossible, such as any of the legacy moves with Blast Burn. *Keep in mind that STAB cycle DPS calculations just compare the different movesets and they are not Pokémon-specific Its usage has only gone up due to the addition of Blast Burn to its movepool, but it is only a matter of time until it gets outclassed by newcomers like Heatran, or existing Pokémon like Blaziken that ought to be slated to get Blast Burn.Ĭharizard has had a lot of different moves, courtesy of being around for every move rework Niantic has done, so this will be a long chart. Almost Gengar levels of bad, without the high attack either to make up for the lack of bulk. Fire types are not known for high Stamina or Defense but Charizard just takes that to a whole new level. 
Its stat composition is just all around bad.
In short, the Flying type invites the likes of Smack Down Tyranitar, Golem, and Raikou to come in and ruin its day. As mentioned previously, the Flying type is a bit of a curse, as it adds a atrocious double weakness to Rock type moves, as well as giving it a weakness to Electric attacks.Flying type is a blessing and a curse for Charizard, with the blessing in this case being a resistance to Ground instead of a weakness, a additional resistance to Fighting, and a double resistance to Bug and Grass instead of a single resistance.Access to the two-bar Blast Burn, which is currently the best Fire charge move in the game, as well as the best Fire type fast move Fire Spin.
