Career Club After first being included on CSKA Moscow roster in March 2012 at the age of 15, Pomazun made his debut in the Russian Premier League for the club on 6 August 2017 in a game against FC Rubin Kazan, due to an injury to the first-choice goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.

In the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League group stage 1–0 victory over defending champions Real Madrid, starting goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was sent off for complaining. Pomazun was injured for that game, so Georgi Kyrnats was substituted to replace Akinfeev. On the next Champions League game day on 23 October 2018, when Akinfeev was serving his disqualification, Pomazun started the away game against Roma which CSKA lost 0–3.

On 5 August 2020, he extended his CSKA contract throughout the 2024–25 season and joined FC Ural Yekaterinburg on loan for the 2020–21 season. On 25 February 2021, his loan was cut short and Pomazun returned to CSKA.

On 9 June 2021, he extended his contract with CSKA until the end of the 2025–26 season and joined Ural on loan once again, for the 2021–22 season.

On 16 June 2022, Pomazun extended his CSKA contract until 2027 and returned to Ural on loan for the 2022–23 season.

On 3 July 2023, Pomazun extended his CSKA contract until 2028 and returned to Ural on his fourth loan.

On 2 February 2025, Pomazun joined Spartak Moscow on a two-and-a-half-year contract. On 24 May 2026 in the 2026 Russian Cup final against Krasnodar, Pomazun was substituted in late and saved two penalty kicks in the decisive shoot-out, bringing the club a trophy (he also won the penalty shoot-out under similar circumstances in an earlier Cup round against Zenit St. Petersburg).
