Azumarill served me well
At 7PM ET on December 1, 2022, Game Freak unleashed the Charizard Pokemon Scarlet & Violet event into the wild. After prepping earlier this week I went in with Azumarill, and caught it: my clear actually came from a group with two shinies in it! It was a fun time and I took screens all along the way. Here’s a look at some of the potential loot drops, and some stats to boot.
As a reminder, you can find the Charizard Tera Raid schedule here, and a guide for how to unlock it here.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Charizard loot list
Here’s everything I earned when taking down the seven-star Charizard, so you have an idea of what to expect if you’re staking it out (remember, you can only catch one per save file):
- Exp. Candy L x 25 (!)
- Exp. Candy XL x 6
- Rare Candy x2
- Calcium x 7
- Dragon Tera Shard x 15
- TM157 x1
- Ability Patch x1
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Charizard moves and stats
The Charizard from the event is a Dragon Tera Type, with fire and flying types as well. It clocks in at level 100, with the following moves:
- Dragon Pulse (10/10)
- Fire Blast (5/5)
- Hurricane (10/10)
- Focus Blast (5/5)
And the following stats:
- HP – 297
- Sp. Atk – 279
- Sp. Def – 206
- Speed – 236
- Defense – 192
- Attack – 183
Mine is “modest by nature,” and “somewhat vain.” It also provides the “Mightiest Mark” reward, which is a mark earned through catching a Pokemon in a seven-star Tera Raid battle. The title for the Mightiest Mark is “Charizard the Unrivaled.”
Does the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Charizard count as a Paldean Pokedex entry?
Seemingly, no. After catching it my Paldean Pokedex remained the same: ending at entry 400, just like it had at launch.
When the National Pokedex comes into play, it’ll likely fill out an entry then.
