😈There’s no exact location to find Charizard in Pokémon Go. However, the mobile app features a tracker called Pokevision map, which can locate Charizard if it’s near you and display it on your map in real-time . This map also has a countdown timer to show you how much time you have left to catch Charizard.

Many trainers have reported sightings of Charizard in the wild near mountains or hills, so you can trek through these features if they are near you, and you might be lucky enough to find one. Others also found Charizard in their normal settings, like the office cafeteria or right next door.

Therefore, Charizard pops up in random locations in Pokémon Go. The higher your trainer level, the higher your chances of finding it.

Is Charizard a rare spawn in Pokémon Go?

💎Absolutely! Charizard is one of the rarest and most sought-after Pokémon. Although there have been reports of Charizard sightings across the internet, only the extremely lucky few have been able to encounter this rare fire-type Pokémon.

Just how rare is it to get Charizard in Pokémon Go?

---

Charizard has a spawn rate of 0.0031%, meaning that chances of encountering it are low. To get Charizard in Pokémon Go, you must raise your trainer level or catch a Charmander and evolve it into a Charmeleon and then a Charizard.

Both methods require lots of patience, commitment, and strategy, underscoring how rare and difficult it is to get Charizard in Pokémon Go. 😓

For example, raising your trainer level requires you to gain more experience by hatching eggs, fighting in gyms, going for lots of walks, and grabbing as many PokeStops as possible.

On the other hand, if you decide to start with a Charmander, you’ll need to wait for occasions like the Community Day Classic event, when there’s an increase in Charmander spawns, and catch as many Charmander as you can so that you can get enough candy needed to evolve one into a Charizard.

Let’s look at the spawn rate of different Pokémon from the rarest to the least rare.

Pokémon	Spawn rate	Average spawns/10,000
Charizard	0.0031%	0.31
Blastoise	0.0067%	0.67
Venasaur	0.017%	1.7
Charmander	0.253%	25.3
Bulbasaur	0.69%	69

Can you get Charizard in Pokémon Go for free?

😃Yes, you can. If a Charizard pops up on your nearby map, you can locate it, hit it with your Poké Balls, and if you’re lucky enough, catch it for free!

This applies if you got your Poké Balls from the daily free box or as rewards for completing research tasks or walking milestones.

If you purchased your Poké Balls in the shop using PokéCoins, it would’ve cost you to get a Charizard, but the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel will be worth every penny!

Also, if you decide to get a Charizard by evolving a Charmander, you’ll need up to 100 Charmander Candy to complete the process, and you can earn them for free by completing research tasks or catching as many Charmander as possible.
