CHARIZARD has long been the most popular Pokémon in the series since it first came out in 1995.
Pokémon’s developers know just how popular Charizard is, which is why there are so many versions of it across the series.

Scarlet and Violet is no exception to the rule, and Pokémon is making a special Charizard available for a limited time.
You can catch The Mighty Charizard with a Dragon Tera type from Tuesday, March 12, 2024, until Tuesday, March 19, 2024.
There will be a raid available every day, but you’ll only be able to catch one during the week.

It has Flying-, Fire-, and Dragon-type moves, making it difficult to find a Pokémon that can survive the onslaught.
After testing various Pokémon to take on Charizard this is the one we recommend.
Azumarill - Level 100
- Nature - Adamant
- Ability - Huge Power
- Item - Shell Bell
- Tera - Fairy
- Moves - Amnesia, Light Screen, Belly Drum, Play Rough
Azumarill’s Water/Fairy typing is perfect for this raid as it doesn’t take much damage from Fire- or Dragon-type moves.
It also has Light Screen and Amnesia to make sure it can withstand all of Charizard’s attacks.
Belly Drum means that Azumarill only needs one turn to set up, and then it can hit back for huge amounts of damage with Play Rough.
If you get the strategy right, it should only take a few turns and this special Charizard will be yours.
