Charizard Raid Solo Guide

The viability of Mega Blastoise is contingent on the power of the Mega Boost and the teams used by fellow raiders. Regardless of this boost, Rock Type Mega Evolutions such as Mega Tyranitar will become the top choices for this raid when released.

Pros:

• Mega Evolution, provides an important buff to all similarly typed Pokemon on the field
• Good general accessibility. Species has been featured in multiple events, as a raid boss, in its own Community Day, and has been available since day 1
• Resists Fire Type movesets
• High overall bulk, great at keeping on the field for a good while

Cons:

• Depending on the Mega Boost, may not be extremely viable, especially when compared to many Rock Type counters
• Best moveset is Elite

Pros;

• Absurdly high DPS Vs. Mega Charizard Y. Has the power needed to potentially solo if only accounting for DPS in Clear Weather
• Was featured during Adventure Week, meaning many players have one or more
• Resists Fire Type movesets and Air Slash

Cons:

• Fairly frail, benefits greatly from dodging

Pros:

• Outstanding mix of DPS and TDO, can manage a duo with only teams of these
• Resists Fire Type movesets and Air Slash
• Common species in many areas that has been featured in events, its own community day, and has been in the game since day 1

Cons:

• Best moveset is Elite
