How to Beat 7-Star Charizard in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

From March 12 to March 17, you can catch Charizard in a 7-Star Tera Raid Event with the Mightiest Mark and Dragon Tera Type. The last of the Kanto starter trio will come in hot with the same moves, ability, and stats it previously showcased in past events. That said, you may be able to secure a victory alongside partners that proved helpful in your last battle, though there are plenty of Pokémon that will perform well here.

Ideally, you’ll want to go in with teammates that can handle Fire and Dragon-type attacks. Because Charizard will effectively exchange its traditional Fire/Flying-type for a Dragon Tera Type, you’re safe to use super-effective Fairy Pokémon in this battle. Dragon-types will also perform well offensively, though defense may pose a problem. With this in mind, let’s put together a winning strategy for your next match against Charizard.
