Gamefreak has recently announced another Mega Evolution for the beloved fire starter, Mega Charizard X. Similar to Mewtwo, Charizard will apparently have two different Mega Evolutions that will be exclusive to each game. In Pokemon Y, players will be able to get Charmander, with the mega stone that allows it to evolve into Mega Charizard Y (charizardite Y.) However, players who play Pokemon X are able to get Charmander with the stone that allows it to turn into the newly revealed evolution, Mega Charizard X (charizardite x.)


Mega Charizard X varies greatly from it’s other Mega Evolution. While Mega Charizard Y gets a boost in special attack and carries the ability drought, Charizard X get’s a boost in physical attack and gains the new ability tough claws. Tough claws strengthen all moves that do physical combat damage to a Pokemon. In addition, Charizard X will also be a Fire/Dragon type instead of Fire/flying. With moves like Belly Drum already being available to Charizard, we can expect this Pokemon to be a big threat in competitive gameplay along with Charizard Y.

Still getting Y

I love it.

I'd rather get Charizard X, I just might pick this up. I haven't played a Pokemon game since Ruby, I did play Colosseum but that's it
