What Nature Do You Give Charizard in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

Timid is the best nature for Charizard, it boost Speed at the cost of Attack, which is fine as its Special Attack combined with Fire attack boosts from sunlight deals plenty of damage and how fast it is with the extra Speed. Flamethrower and Fire Blast are both good choices, but be ready for Fire Blast to miss at inconvenient times.

Although it learns moves like Dragon Claw and Earthquake, Charizard doesn’t have much potential as a physical attacker since it can’t Mega Evolve in Paldea.

Charizard is good at covering its weakness to Water when you have a Sun setter and Solarbeam. It loses half its HP to Stealth Rock so be careful switching it in and out, and avoid Rock Slide at all costs. Its only other weakness is Electric, so it’s good to have a Ground-type or Volt Absorb Pokemon to switch into.
