Pokémon GO: Gigantamax Charizard Weaknesses & Best Counters
Gigantamax Charizard is one of the first Gigantamax Raid Bosses that will appear in , providing the toughest challenge Trainers have faced in the mobile game yet. These giant-sized Pokémon have extra-powerful attacks and sky-high CP levels, meaning they're going to be incredibly difficult to take down. You'll need the right counters and a strong lineup of Trainers to compete alongside you if you want to win.
As part of the GO Bigger event, which runs from Saturday, October 26, at 10 AM local time until Sunday, October 27, 2024, at 8 PM local time, three fan-favorite Pokémon will be appearing in their Gigantamax forms: Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise.

These are the only Dynamax-capable Pokémon that can target Gigantamax Charizard's weaknesses with both their Fast Attacks and their Charged Attacks.
