Ranged DPS Build Explanation

Build Explanation
This build focuses on keeping a safe distance from enemies while poking them with Flamethrower and Fire Blast.
· Muscle Band improves Charizard's attacks through increased damage and attack speed.
· Scope Lens helps Charizard to dish out more damage using its attacks by increasing its critical-hit rate and damage.
· Attack Weight provides Charizard a large damage boost, particularly for its moves.
· However, Razor Claw can be a replacement for Scope Lens, giving a bit more flat damage boost and a slow mechanic.
· Full Heal allows Charizard to counter crowd control, especially while its Unite Move is not yet available or is on cooldown.
· X Speed can also be used for more mobility.
The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for maximum damage and 4 White Emblems for additional HP.
· Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate to allow Charizard to clear the Jungle as fast as possible.
· Sp. Atk, Defense, and Sp. Def can be freely traded for the other stats.

Since the build is centered on keeping a safe distance from enemies while using them with Fire Blast and Flamethrower, equipping items that will improve Charizard's move and attack damage is the ideal item combination.

As the results show, Muscle Band, Scope Lens, and a fully-stacked Attack Weight will yield the best outcome within the build's limitations. Although the item combination did not have the highest move damage, it did produce the best result for Standard Attack and critical-hit damage.

As for alternatives, replacing Scope Lens with Razor Claw would be the best option. The item combination scored the highest in terms of Fire Blast and Flamethrower damage while maintaining the second best result for Standard Attack and critical-hit damage. However, critical-hits will occur less often with the build.


These damage tests are conducted using the Training Dummy in Practice Mode. The move damage results are taken from the Total Damage data while the Standard Attack damage results are taken from the Basic Attack Damage data.

Seismic Slam Build Explanation

Build Explanation
This is an all-in damage build that is centered around taking out a single target quickly using Flare Blitz, Fire Punch, and Seismic Slam. Charizard will be using the Infernal Slam Combo as its core method of defeating targets.
· Muscle Band improves Charizard's attacks through increased damage and attack speed.
· Attack Weight provides Charizard a large damage boost, particularly for its moves.
· Energy Amplifier further boosts Charizard's damage when it uses Seismic Slam, especially its attacks. It also reduces the Pokemon's cooldowns.
· However, Scope Lens can be a replacement for Attack Weight, improving Charizard's critical-hits and eliminating the need for stacking.
· Full Heal allows Charizard to counter crowd control, especially while its Unite Move is not yet available or is on cooldown.
· X Speed can also be used for more mobility.
The build's Boost Emblem loadout should consist of 6 Brown Emblems for maximum damage and 4 White Emblems for additional HP.
· Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate to allow Charizard to clear the Jungle as fast as possible.
· Sp. Atk, Defense, and Sp. Def can be freely traded for the other stats.

Since the build is revolves around Seismic Slam, equipping items that will maximize Charizard's attack damage for the duration of the move is the ideal item combination. Energy Amplifier is a core item for the build, leaving only two items for consideration.

As the results show, Muscle Band and a fully-stacked Attack Weight will yield the best results. The item combination produced the best results for both move and attack damage tests.

Although Razor Claw and Attack Weight generated the same result as the recommended build, having the attack speed from Muscle Band gives Charizard an advantage in the long run.

As for alternatitves, replacing Attack Weight with Scope Lens would be the ideal choice. The item combination doesn't require Charizard to stack an item to maximize its damage, and it still does decent damage.

These damage tests are conducted using the Training Dummy in Practice Mode. The move damage results are taken from the Total Damage data while the Standard Attack damage results are taken from the Basic Attack Damage data.

How to Play Charizard

Jump to Section

Play Safe Until Level 9

Charizard is an All-Rounder Pokemon that can push the advantage in team fights with its high damage output However, it takes a while to get this particular Pokemon set up. Gathering as much EXP as possible, especially during the early game, is paramount. Try your best not to engage in skirmishes with the opposing team to avoid getting knocked down early. Only get aggressive when enemies over-extend or you are getting support from your team's jungler. Also, it is important that you keep close to allied goal zones to get HP recovery.

Focus on Farming Wild Pokemon

Charizard reaches its power-spike when it fully evolves at level 9. This may be a high hill to climb, considering that some Pokemon in the roster can easily overpower Charizard even if they learn their move upgrades. Fortunately, the pay-off is worth the time as Charizard's lethality significantly increases, and can also afford to position more aggressively in team fights once it unlocks its Unite Move. So, farming Wild Pokemon to get to higher levels should be the priority.

Pressure Opponents Using Fire Spin

Fire Spin is a great utility that can help Charizard during the early to mid-game. It increases Charizard's range as you can deal continuous damage to enemies caught in the affected area. Use it to pressure ranged opponents or deploy it where your target is to help you get ahead in brawls. For defensive plays, set up a Fire Spin on an allied goal zone to make it hard for opponents to score. Additionally, use the move to inflict slow for an easy retreat.

Fire Spin: Charizard Move Effect and Cooldown

Move While Using Standard Attacks

Since Charizard can move during its Standard attack animation, you can easily stick to running while attacking for maximum pressure. It is best to circle your targets as you may be able to make them miss their moves if they are not sure-hits.

Stick With Allies

While Charizard is more than capable of brawling with opponents, the Pokemon is currently the weakest All-Rounder in terms of endurance as it does not have any way of sustaining itself. For the most part, you will have to rely on your kit through status effects. Because of this, it is advised that you always stick to allies, particularly Supporters, so that you can increase your survivability during fights.

Based Your Moveset on Playstyle

Pokemon UNITE - Charizard Attacking Opponents with Flamethrower

Charizard's kit is well-balanced and offers multiple ways to play the Pokemon. Although you can practically use any move combination, choosing the right one will help you realize Charizard's playstyle.

Disable and Mobility

If you are looking to focus on direct offense with Charizard, then choosing Fire Punch and Flare Blitz will allow you to have maximum engagement in up close and personal brawls because of their disabling capabilities. Additionally, both of these moves give Charizard much-needed mobility that can get it closer to its targets while also inflicting damage. Since Charizard can easily reposition while attacking, make sure that you're always positioned in the area your enemy wants to escape to so you can push them back into a tight spot.

Ranged Damager

If you want to avoid jumping into the middle of a team fight and prefer to poke enemies from afar, then choosing Flamethrower and Fire Blast turns Charizard into a ranged damage dealer ideal for team fights. Although you are trading off consistent mobility for ranged attacks, this move combination provides status effects that can help you get the upper hand. Flamethrower gives Charizard a boost in movement speed, allowing for better repositioning and keeping a safe distance. Fire Blast reduces the movement speed of enemies caught within the ring.

Utilize Your Damage Bonus With Unite Move

Charizard becomes empowered for a short duration after picking up and slamming an opponent with a Seismic Slam while wreaking havoc with fire breathing. This gives Charizard movement speed, damage, and the ability to move over walls. Use your other moves before using Seismic Slam so you can focus on dealing damage with your standard attacks while in the empowered state.

Target Low HP Opponent for Instant K.O

Pokemon UNITE - Charizard Using Unite Move on Cramorant

For the best value, seek out low HP opponents like Attackers or Supporters for the move's initial slam to instantly take them out of the fight. After that, you can proceed to bombard other opponents with enhanced attacks for the clean-up!
