Charizard Moveset

[Brute Root]

I have decided to now raise a Charizard and I was wondering if anyone had any good idea for his moveset. This is my planned moveset for my Charizard.

;006; Charizard
Nature:???
moveset:
Dragon Claw
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Flamethrower

Is this a good enough moveset? I chose Dragon Dance over Belly Drum because Dragon Dance raises attack and speed in one move, although I am aware that Belly Drum maximizes attack power, but at the cost of 50% of one's HP. There is one problem I have left though....what do I breed with Charizard to get one that knows Dragon Dance?

 

[psycho55]

mine has

flamethrower
blastburn
earthquake
slash

pretty similar so yea i think its a good moveset iono why people dont like blastburn to me its great o well

 

[Brute Root]

Blast Burn gained a bad reputation b/c of it's side effect. Besides, I can't get it anyway because of a couple of reasons.
1)This Charizard is on my Emerald version.
2) On Leaf Green version, Venusaur (who is also in my emerald party) was my starter, not Charizard, so I can't get Blast Burn.
3) I don't want to have to re-start my game to get a Blast Burning Charizard.

I appretiate what you did, but your Charizard has a flaw of it's own. It doesn't really need Blast Burn and Flamethrower. Pick one or the other, because you are taking up a much needed moveslot for a better move; you could probably replace Flamethrower with Swords Dance (Since you like Blast Burn so much, you can keep it).

If you really want you can stick With Dragon Dance, but you could have Swords Dance or rebreed for Belly Drum.
Try,
-EQ
-Aerial Ace
-Swords Dance/DD
-Fire Blast/Overheat

I have this on mine (not my party pokemon):

Flamethrower
Rockslide
Fly
Swords Dance

Or you can use this (this is my party charizard or was my party pokemon): :0

Flamethrower
Dragon Claw
Fly
Blast Burn

Don't Dragon Dance when you have only one move to Dragon Dance.

[DragonDance]

Don't use fly plz.

Use ether, bellyzard, DDzard, or SDzard.

Don't Dragon Dance when you have only one move to Dragon Dance.

That first one is good but with Aerial Ace over Fly, and the second one is crap cos it has a Elemental Hyper Beam.

 

[psycho55]

why is blast burn bad?

 

[magnemiteZ]

Cos you need to recharge after.
You get the same Power on Overheat anyway.
Also, Fire Blast>both of them.

 

[Brute Root]

Don't Dragon Dance when you have only one move to Dragon Dance.

It doesn't matter how many moves I have to Dragon Dance, I'm mainly using Dragon Dance for the speed advantage, as for the attack boost, I'm just going along fer the ride.

Edit: I figured out what to breed Charizard with to get Dragon Dance. Fer anyone else who wants to know, this is how I did itragon Dance Altaria(male)+Charizard/Charmander(female)= Dragon Dancing Charizard.

 

[blazemxx]

Belly Drum, Fire Blast, HP Fly, Rslide, EQ, moves for a bellyzard.

 

[magnemiteZ]

Aerial Ace over HP [Flying] ingame.

 

[Brute Root]

So Dragon Claw is pretty much ruled out fer thie moveset?

 

[blazemxx]

Aerial Ace over HP [Flying] ingame.

doesn't hp fly have potential to do more than aa? no one will reduce accuracy or raise evasiveness. it is luck. and yes brute root. Dc is useless on non dragon types

 

[magnemiteZ]

So Dragon Claw is pretty much ruled out fer thie moveset?

Yeah, it isn't really needed.

doesn't hp fly have potential to do more than aa? This is competitive so no one will reduce accuracy or raise evasiveness. and yes brute root. Dc is useless on non dragon types

Yes it has the POTENTIAL of having a power of 70, but I'd like to see you get HP [Flying] 70 ingame.

 

[Brute Root]

I face opponents who lower accuracy all the time.

 

[magnemiteZ]

Yeah, ingame, there is a much higher chance that you go against apponants that lower accuracy/Raise Evasiveness

doesn't hp fly have potential to do more than aa? no one will reduce accuracy or raise evasiveness. it is luck. and yes brute root. Dc is useless on non dragon types

DC is useless on most Dragon types aswell.

Rock Slide owns Dragon-types, but the problem is that you should be using Aerial Ace over Rock Slide. With Belly Drum, Aerial Ace can probably take care of most Dragon-types anyways.

Charizard@leftovers

Areial ace
Earthquake
Dragon Claw (probably changing it to something worthwhile)
