Gigantamax Charizard's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Gigantamax Charizard Max Battles

There are two fire-type starter Pokémon to be graced with Gigantamax forms, Gigantamax Charizard and Gigantamax Cinderace. Between them, Gigantamax Cinderace typically outperforms Gigantamax Charizard in terms of raw attack power.

However, there are still reasons to build a Gigantamax Charizard. For one, it does still more damage than most other Dynamax or Gigantamax fire-type Pokémon. Second, Gigantamax Charizard prefers the dragon-type Dragon Breath or the flying-type Wing Attack for its fast attack of choice. Both of these are legacy moves, but they both have more play than Cinderace’s normal type Tackle, and might give Charizard a leg up in terms of damage in certain scenarios.

Not only that, Charizard also has more utility than Cinderace overall. As it has two Mega forms and a Shadow form, giving it play as a fire, flying, and dragon type raid attacker. As such, building a Gigantamax Charizard might be, in some cases, more economical than Cinderace if you have the right legacy moves.

    Gigantamax Charizard FAQ

    How good is Gigantamax Charizard in Max Battles?

    Gigantamax Charizard ranks #2 out of 18 in the Fire-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in S Tier.

    The score is damage from one Max Attack, not DPS. A real boss’s Defense and weaknesses change the damage and may change the order. This ranking does not estimate total battle time, faints or team performance.

    Compare the best Max Battle attackers by type

    Which moves should Gigantamax Charizard use in Max Battles?

    Recommended moves

    Max Attack damage determines the ranking. When movesets deal equal damage, faster Max Meter generation breaks the tie. The recommended Fast Attack therefore helps charge the meter; it is not necessarily the hardest-hitting Fast Attack. The charging comparison uses the same neutral target.

    What does the asterisk beside a move mean?

    At least one recommended moveset above includes a legacy move. Check the asterisk beside each move before investing.

    An asterisk marks a legacy move, which may require an event, an Elite TM or another special method. Some legacy moves cannot be taught with an Elite TM.

    Why do some attackers use a Fast Attack of another type?

    For Dynamax Pokémon, the Fast Attack normally determines the Max Attack type; Hidden Power produces Max Strike. Gigantamax Pokémon have a fixed G-Max Attack. Crowned Pokémon and Eternatus also use fixed special attacks. Changing their Fast Attack does not change that attack’s type.

    How are these attackers ranked?

    The default ranking uses Level 40 Pokémon, perfect IVs and level-3 Max Attacks against a neutral target, with no weather boost. Only released Pokémon are included.

    Should I build only the highest-ranked attacker?

    No. This list helps choose damage dealers. A Max Battle team can also need Pokémon that resist the boss’s attacks or restore HP. Use the boss’s Max Battle counters page to compare attackers, tanks and healers for that encounter.

    What are Gigantamax Charizard’s strengths and weaknesses?

    As a Fire and Flying-type Pokémon, Gigantamax Charizard is especially weak against Rock-type moves, and weak against Electric and Water-type moves.

    What is Gigantamax Charizard’s maximum CP at Level 40 and Level 50?

    Gigantamax Charizard’s maximum CP at Level 40 is 2889 CP and 3266 CP at Level 50.

    Can Gigantamax Charizard be shiny in Pokémon GO?

    Gigantamax Charizard can be Shiny in Pokémon GO ✨.
