Which Pokémon—Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y—is better?
Two strong Mega Evolutions for the legendary Fire/Flying type Pokémon, Charizard, X and Y. Both types release fresh abilities; however, which one rules most? Since the launch of Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, this issue has spurred discussions among trainers of the game. Although every Mega Charizard has special benefits, deciding the "better" form relies on elements like gameplay mechanics, personal taste, and particular fight settings.
Reflecting Charizard's ongoing popularity, both Mega Charizards have been a common choice across many Pokémon games. Nevertheless, trainers have been returning to these potent forms in games like Pokémon UNITE even if Mega Evolution is absent from current generations. But UNITE only has Mega Mewtwo X and Y right now, so Charizard enthusiasts have to picture its existence in the cutthroat arena.
Mega Charizard X: Physical Powerhouse
Share stat changes between Generation 6 and 7 games for Mega Charizard X and Y. Having much improved Attack and Defense stats, Mega Charizard X shines in physical attacks. Its base Attack stat leaps to 130, much beyond Charizard's regular 84. Originally at 78, the Defense stat rises to 111 as well. Mega Charizard X is thus a strong physical assailant able to inflict significant damage and endure strikes.
Furthermore, Mega Charizard X's typing changes to Fire/Dragon, therefore removing its four-times weakness to Rock-type techniques. Although this modification is advantageous, it also removes some resistances and reduces ground-type attack immunity. But Mega Charizard X gains from its ability, Tough Claws, which increases the force of physical attacks. Mega Charizard X has an advantage over its counterpart in the core Pokémon games thanks in part to its outstanding base numbers and access to strong physical moves.
Y: Special Attack Specialist Mega Charizard Y
Unlike Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y focuses on special attacks and has an amazing increase in its Special Attack and Special Defense stats. Rising to 159, the base Special Attack stat is among the game's strongest special attackers. Its durability against special attacks gets much from its Special Defense as well—116.
Mega Charizard Y's ability, Drought, increases sunlight, therefore enabling Fire-type attacks and other effects. This synergy produces a potent mix for special attacks that lets it unleash terrible Fire-type strikes. Its four-times susceptibility against Rock-type strikes still is a major disadvantage, though. Mega Charizard Y could be seen as less flexible than its cousin even with its strong special moves.
Mega Charizard X: Strong Candidate for Pokémon GO
The stats of Mega Charizard X and Y in Pokémon GO deviate greatly from those in their original game. With 213 basic defense, Mega Charizard X has a better Defense than Mega Charizard Y, 212. Although this is a little difference, Mega Charizard Y clearly wins in terms of raw attacking capability since his initial Attack stat of 319 much exceeds Mega Charizard X's 273.
Mega Charizard Y's maximum CP is larger than that of Mega Charizard X's 4,354 CP; it is 5,037 CP. Second only to Mega Blaziken, Mega Charizard Y's outstanding attack record ranks it among the best Fire-type attackers in Pokémon GO. But its Flying-type flaw renders it susceptible to several Flying-type assaults throughout the game. Mega Charizard Y is the main player in Pokémon GO, hence trainers in this mobile game favor it overall.
Mega Charizard X: The More Flexible Choice All Around the Franchise
The "better" Mega Charizard is ultimately personal and based on the game and your fighting approach. Particularly considering its capacity to manage Rock-type attacks, Mega Charizard X often stands out as a more flexible and potent choice in the core series. But Mega Charizard Y rules supreme in Pokémon GO with its outstanding Attack stat, thereby acting as a powerful offensive force.
Each Mega Charizard has unique playstyle and approach. Mega Charizard X is a physical powerhouse; Mega Charizard Y rules with its special attack ability. The greatest Mega Charizard for you ultimately will rely on your preferred playstyle and the difficulties you encounter in every Pokémon game.
