Physical Sweeper Charizard (Retro)
Charizard is a sensational Physical Sweeper in single battles. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. The rules of gen-one were quite varied from today. Prior to Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 100-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move that deals a phenomenal amount of damage. ♦ Dig is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Seismic Toss is a physical 1-base power Fighting-type move (damage = Charizard's level. Can hit ghost types). ♦ Counter is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (if hit by physical attack, returns double damage). ♦ Fly is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Flying-type move (flies up on first turn, then strikes the next turn).

It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
