Mega Charizard X

Surprise! Charizard has two Mega Evolutions in Pokémon X and Y

We’re only 10 days away from the worldwide launch of Pokémon X and Y, the first 3DS installments in Nintendo’s popular series of monster-collecting and fighting. So if you need a little Pokéfix to get through the day, take a look at Charizard’s newest Mega Evolution, Mega Charizard X [above].

Mega Evolution is one of Pokémon X and Y’s most touted new features. It’ll enable certain pocket monsters to temporarily transform into powerful fighters with extra abilities and stat bonuses. For example, Mega Charizard X ditches the original’s Flying-type for a Dragon affinity. It’s also blue, so it has that going for it.
