This is an incredibly tough fight, so you will need to bring your best Pokémon to defeat the 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Charizard in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Azumarill is a powerful Pokémon and extremely popular thanks to its Huge Power ability and access to Belly Drum. Likewise, Daschbun and Baxcalibur have abilities that negate or power them up after being hit by a Fire-type move, but Baxcalibur is still weak to Dragon so think twice before using it. Flutter Mane and Florges are excellent Fairy Pokémon and can do massive damage.

We highly recommend the Ability Shield item to prevent Pokémon who rely on their ability to win. This will prevent anything stopping that ability from activating, so Azumarill, Daschbun, and Baxclibur will need to have this item equipped. Work with your friends if you can and coordinate your strategy to beat the 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Charizard in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
