Seismic Slam 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.
- Scope Lens makes Charizard's attacks deadlier through increased critical-hit rate and damage.
- Energy Amplifier further boosts Charizard's damage when it uses Seismic Slam, especially its attacks. It also reduces the Pokemon's cooldowns.
- 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 6 White Emblems for additional HP. This can be achieved by equipping at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
- 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.

Muscle Band + ]Scope Lens | 11112472 | Min: 1759 Max: 2677Min: 277 Max: 335 |
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.
Out of all the item combinations, Muscle Band and Scope Lens will be the best for the build. The item combination did decently in the Standard Attack damage tests but doesn't require Charizard to stack any items to gain the full benefit.
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.
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.

Ranged DPS 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 6 White Emblems for additional HP. This can be achieved by equipping at least two (2) Emblems that are both Brown and White.
- Equip Emblems that improve Attack or Critical-Hit Rate to allow Charizard to clear the Jungle as fast as possible.

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.

Muscle Band | Muscle Band is a generally good item to have when building damage dealers. |
Curse Bangle | Curse Bangle gives Charizard a decent amount of Attack stat, and it works well with the Pokemon's attacks. |
Best Battle Items
Item | Explanation |
---|---|
Full Heal | Full Heal acts as a safety item that removes all debuffs inflicted on Charizard. This will be helpful for removing any slow effects or negate any enemy crowd control |
X Speed | X Speed gives extra movement speed for getting into position or chasing opponents. This item synergizes well with Charizard's moving Standard Attack. |
Best Moveset
Move | Explanation |
---|---|
Flare Blitz | Flare Blitz allows Charizard to isolate targets and get in range for its attacks. It also grants the Pokemon a shield for some survivability. |
Fire Punch | Fire Punch is a great follow up move to Flare Blitz due to its knockback effect. |
This moveset plays better in the meta since it gives Charizard two disabling moves that also deals decent damage.

Fire Punch gives Charizard another disabling move that naturally works better with Flare Blitz.
Generally, Flamethrower and Fire Blast gives Charizard some range to work with during fights and work better with each other.

Initiate Fights With Seismic Slam |
Play Safe Until Level 9
Although Charizard already gets both of its primary moves at level 7, it's really only at level 9 that the Pokemon reaches its power spike due to its Unite move. Given this, it's best to play as safe as possible in the early game, focusing more on farming wild Pokemon and leveling up.
Maximize the Use of Fire Spin and Flame Burst
Fire Spin and Flame Burst are ranged moves that also deal damage overtime. Use them to poke opponents, secure wild Pokemon, and defend goal zones in the early game.
Utilize Its Unique Attack Mechanics
Unlike other Pokemon, Charizard's attacks consist of multiple hits instead of just one. Each hit is treated separately and can trigger attack modifiers like critical-hits, lifesteal, and bonus damage. This should hint on what items Charizard should be given.
Move While Attacking
On top of its unique attacks, Charizard can also move while attacking, giving it some kind of mechanical advantage over others. Utilizing this mechanic is also central to playing Charizard effectively.
Poke Opponents with Flamethrower and Fire Blast
Flamethrower and Fire Blast are highly-improved versions of Flame Burst and Fire Spin, respectively. They're best used to deplete opponents' HP from range without or before engaging in a fight.
Utilize Flamethrower's Movement Speed Buff and Mechanic
When Charizard hits a target with Flamethrower, its movement speed increases for a duration. Moreover, the move can be used while moving, just like the Pokemon's attacks. Take advantage of the move's movement speed buff and activation mechanic to win fights or escape.
Flamethrower: Charizard Move Effect and Cooldown
Zone Out Opponents with Fire Blast
Once Fire Blast's projectile hits a target or reaches its max distance, it explodes and creates a burning area. This area deals damage overtime and slows opponents who step inside it. Use Fire Blast to zone out opponents from certain areas and discourage them from approaching.
Fire Blast: Charizard Move Effect and Cooldown
Quickly Get to Melee Range Using Fire Punch and Flare Blitz
Although Charizard breathes fire when it attacks, it is still considered as a melee Pokemon due to its short range. Just like all melee Pokemon, one of Charizard's primary struggle is getting close to targets to attack them. Fortunately, Charizard has Fire Punch and Flare Blitz, which serves this exact purpose.

Disable Targets
Apart from being a damage move, Fire Punch and Flare Blitz are also great tools for disabling targets. Fire Punch shoves targets backwards while Flare Blitz throws them up.
Utilize Flare Blitz's Shield
In particular, Flare Blitz also grants Charizard a shield once it hits the target, increasing the Pokemon's durability and survivability. Take advantage of this shield to prolong Charizard's life during fights.
Initiate Fights With Seismic Slam
Seismic Slam deals a ton of damage to a single target. It's best used to initiate fights as it forces the target to play defensively due to the damage it took from the slam.
Seismic Slam: Charizard Move Effect and Cooldown
Utilize the Free Movement Mechanic
After slamming the target to the ground, Charizard flies up in the air for a duration. While flying, the Pokemon can freely hover over obstacles around the map, giving it unobstructed movement. Take advantage of this mechanic by circling around targets while attacking or by flying over obstacles when escaping.
Utilize the Increased Attack Damage and HP Recovery
On top of being able to fly around, Charizard's attacks deal increased damage and also heals the Pokemon. Make sure to also capitalize on these effects while flying.

Use Seismic Slam
Ranged, Fragile Pokemon with High Damage |
---|
How to Beat |
• These Pokemon prefer to keep their distance from opponents when fighting. They also have high damage potential that can be dangerous for Charizard. However, they are fragile and ideal Seismic Slam targets. • Find a way to get in range of Seismic Slam and use the move on them, then just simply stay on top of them while continuously attacking them until they get knocked out. |
Circle Around Them While Attacking
All-Rounders |
---|
How to Beat |
• Much like Charizard, these Pokemon excel in close combat and rely mostly on their attacks or combos to deal damage. They are also durable enough to tank Charizard's damage. However, Charizard's attack mechanic allows the Pokemon to attack while moving around, giving the Pokemon some mechanical advantage. • Use Fire Punch and Flare Blitz to disrupt their combo, then attack them while circling around them. • Use Fire Blast to slow them, then follow up with Flamethrower to poke them from range. Utilize Flamethrower's movement speed boost to attack them while circling around them. • As a last resort, use Seismic Slam, then stay on top of them while continuously attacking them until they get knocked out. |
Dodge Their Burst Damage
High-mobility Pokemon with Burst Damage |
---|
How to Beat |
• These Pokemon are incredibly agile and deal high burst damage. However, they become vulnerable when they miss their burst damage attempt. • Use Fire Blast to slow their approach, then follow up with Flamethrower. Utilize Flamethrower's movement speed boost to dodge their moves, then retaliate with attacks. • Alternatively, use Flare Blitz and Fire Punch to stop their assault, then follow up with attacks. • As a last resort, use Seismic Slam, then stay on top of them while continuously attacking them until they get knocked out. |
Take Them Out First
Supporters |
---|
How to Beat |
• These Pokemon usually stick with their allies and rarely venture alone. Although they themselves pose no threat to Charizard, their support capabilities makes them valuable during fights. • It's best to take them out in the fight first using Flamethrower or Fire Punch and Flare Blitza or Fire Blast, then finishing them off with Seismic Slam and attacks. |
Group Up with Allies
Highly Durable Pokemon |
---|
How to Beat |
• These Pokemon are extremely durable, making it difficult for Charizard to take them down alone. With that, it's best to group up with allies to bring them down with the help of Charizard. • Use Fire Blast to slow them, then follow up with Flamethrower. Utilize Flamethrower's movement speed boost to attack them while circling around them. • Use Flare Blitz and Fire Punch to shove them back towards allies, then attack them while circling around them. |
Easy Targets for Charizard
Charizard's damage will be enough to pressure these Pokemon, especially at full evolution. Make sure to target low HP opponents first to cut them off in the team clash. They are also ideal Seismic Slam targets.
