And with Charizards running around everywhere, you\u2019ll want to make sure your Charizard is one foot ahead of everyone else\u2019s. To make sure of this, you\u2019ll need to optimize your Charizard by giving it the best nature it can get to capitalize on its natural strengths. If you\u2019re wondering what nature is the best for your Charizard, we\u2019ve got you covered on that front. What are the best natures for Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard? With the Charizard line, it\u2019s best to remember the saying \u201coffense is the best defense,\" which is most definitely the case with Charizard. Who cares about taking hits well when you can burn your opponents to a crisp before they can move? For this, there are two natures that you can consider: Timid natureModest nature Timid nature: Charizard already has a good base Speed stat, and with a Timid nature boosting it by an extra 10 percent, you are making sure that you outspeed the majority of the Pok\u00e9mon that you come across in your battles. The Timid nature also lowers your Attack stat by 10 percent, but since Charizard has a stronger Special Attack stat, you should be running Special moves on it anyways, so the drop in Attack should make no difference. Modest nature: Even though Charizard is inclined towards its Special Attack stat rather than Attack, it still isn\u2019t an amazing Special Attack stat. Unless your Charizard has its hidden ability Solar Power while being under harsh sunlight, its damage output can easily seem lackluster. For this, maximizing your damage output through the Modest nature makes a lot of sense. You are keeping a decent amount of speed while, again, lowering your Attack stat, which shouldn\u2019t matter to your Charizard.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/01093403\/charizard-1020862-2123378325.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747846"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2110"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747846"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":747857,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747846\/revisions\/747857"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747846"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=747846"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=747846"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=747846"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=747846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
