[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

- fire blast is the main stab and is incredibly strong when boosted by sun
-solar beam is a coverage move that hits the rock and water types that resist fire blast
- focus blast is used to hit heatran and tyranitar
- defog is used to remove hazards such as stealth rock which can cripple fire
- if stealth rock is not a problem however, roost can be used to restore health.


Set Details
========

- max speed investment allows it to outspeed as many pokemon as possible
- a timid nature allows it to tie with other positive nature base 100s
- max special attack investment allows it to wallbreak more easily
- blaze is used over solar power so you can safely switch to charizard while sun is in effect without losing health at the end of the turn

Usage Tips
========

- Charizard is best used as a wallbreaker early game, as Fire Blast in sun does extreme damage in sun, even to resists. It can also sweep late game after the walls are gone, as well as revenge killing slower Pokemon.
- If you aren't using Roost, it's not a good idea to switch charizard in while stealth rocks are up unless you need to, because it will lose half its health from the entry hazard damage, and cripple it for the rest of the game.
- When charizard's health is low, you can sacrifice it to set sun for your other fire pokemon's attacks to be boosted.
- be careful when using solar beam against teams that have other forms of weather, like sand stream tyranitar or drizzle politoed, because you will be stuck charging solar beam.


Team Options
========

- darmanitan, victini, and entei become strong wallbreakers when their fire stab is boosted by sun, and can break through walls that charizard can't.
- torkoal is a good partner because it has access to rapid spin, which allows it to get rid of the stealth rocks that would otherwise halve charizard's health.
- Infernape has a good speed tier and access to taunt, which can keep stealth rock off of your side, as well as setting them and being neutral to rock type moves.
- Heatran is neutral to rock, sets rocks, and can hit rock types supereffectively with stab steel moves.
- Volcanion can deal with the rock types that threaten Charizard with water stab.
