#️⃣ There is no specific number of poke balls that are required to catch a Charizard in a Pokémon game.
For you to catch a Charizard in any Pokémon game, there are factors you have to consider, such as the type of Poke Ball you are using, the level you are in the Pokémon game, and the health of the Charizard before you catch one.
