The user fires a large bird-shaped flame at the opponent. The opponent also becomes surrounded by fire, which damages them further.
Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	Gigantamax Charizard's fiery wings glow bright red and yellow and are fired off as a giant bird-shaped flame at the opponent. Even if the move is blocked, the bird-shaped flame will repeatedly swoop down and strike the opponent, covering them in fire; or, the bird-shaped flame flies around the opponent, trapping them inside of a fiery vortex.

Trivia

• G-Max Wildfire is the first G-Max Move seen in the animated series.
• G-Max Wildfire is the only G-Max Move belonging to a first partner Pokémon to not have a unique move animation. It uses a retexture of Max Flare's move animation.
  • However, this is because G-Max Wildfire was introduced when Sword and Shield were first released, and all G-Max Moves present in the initial release (including the then-unused G-Max Meltdown for Gigantamax Melmetal) had retextured move animations of their type's original Max Move.
