Pokemon UNITE Charizard Build: Burn Them All

Greetings Trainers, the battles in this first season have taken a fiery tempo. Today is the day of the fire dragon (or, fire/flying for all the type purists out there. Kind of wishing for Mega Charizard X here). With this Pokemon UNITE Charizard Build, players will get to discover one of the best ways to use this flying lizard.

Overview

Charizard is an all-rounder meant for bot lane. Here are the overall stats for Charizard in UNITE:

Offense: 3 1/2 stars

Endurance: 3 stars

Mobility: 2 1/2

Scoring: 3 stars

Support: 1/2 a star

While this Pokemon has not been seen as a top pick in the early days of the game, the recent buff has given Charizard immense viability. And with its decent offense and endurance capabilities, Charizard can help their team get decently ahead once it reaches its peak mid-game. Charizard is also fairly good for scoring, so be sure to have the enemy’s goal in mind when using the non-dragon to take down enemy team members. With that being said, let’s go into the recommended build for players to try out. For more information on items to give Charizard or any Pokemon, check out our battle item guide here, as well as our held item guide here.

Recommended Build

Battle Item:

While X Attack can work wonders to boost Charizard’s already good offensive capability, Eject Button is the better move here as it helps enhance Charizard’s mobility as a Charmander and Charmeleon until it reaches its peak. While it may seem like a good idea to use an X item, the Eject Button is still the superior item. Having fully upgraded held items will keep Charizard’s attack capability at its peak.

Held Items:

Muscle Band: Players should consider boosting its basic attack. Charizard claims a special advantage as its basic attack lasts longer than other mons’. Players can hold their A or B button and spam their fire breath for continuous damage as long as Charizard can tank it. The higher the grade, the more effective it will be.

Charizard is incredibly reliant on its unite ability. Taking buddy barrier grants immense utility when Charizard uses his signature unite move, providing more defensive stats to balance out the rest of the build.

Scope lens increases Charizard’s reliable damage. Especially with muscle band, Charizard synergizes with scope lens increasing his attack damage deal from his auto attacks, a fundamental source of the Mon’s damage.

Recommended Moves:

Charmander will start off with Flame Burst and Fire Spin. As it evolves though, you will want these moves:

Fire Punch: This has Charizard dash forward with a fiery fist to shove and burn the Pokemon. This is also a good mobility move to escape when players are on the losing end of a fight. When upgraded, the extra benefit capitalizes on the effect of muscle band and reduces the cooldown time every time an attack hits.

Flare Blitz: Charizard will charge forward at an opposing Pokemon and throw them. This also grants Charizard a shield. When upgraded, it decreases the movement speed for opposing Pokemon.

All in all, the best suggestion is to utilize a physically aggressive style for Charizard. However, if something specially aligned works for some players, something like that is also viable. But, going physical may be easier given its melee style of play.

Conclusion

Charizard is a great pick for an All-Rounder and feels easy to move and attack with. Using this information, players will be able to fly and burn their way to victory with their team. This Pokemon Unite Charizard build proves that it is not the low-tier pick everyone says it is. If players are seeking a good all-rounder to use, Charizard may be their cup of tea.
