Charizard Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Modest or Timid

Nature Stat Changes
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Timid ↑ Speed, ↓ Attack

Since Charizard is a Fast Special Attacker, it's best Nature is either Modest or Timid to boost its Special Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Mild ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Defense
Rash ↑ Speed, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Charizard either Mild or Rash nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Charizard any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Charizard has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
Mints Locations and How to Change Nature

Best Charizard Moveset for the Story

Move Type Cooldown
Dragon Pulse Pokemon Dragon Type Icon 8
Air Slash Pokemon Flying Type Icon 7
Fire Blast Pokemon Fire Type Icon 10
Overheat Pokemon Fire Type Icon 10

We recommend the moves Air Slash, Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, and Flare Blitz when using Charizard during the main story.
