'''Mega Evolution''' ({{ja|メガシンカ|Mega Shinka}}, ''Mega Evolution''), also more commonly known as '''Mega Charizard X''' ({{ja|メガリザードンX|Mega Rizādon Ekkusu}}, ''Mega Lizardon X''), is {{SSB4|Charizard}}'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

==Overview==
{{incomplete|Needs specifics on how getting hit reduces transform time, and to what degree}}
Mega Charizard X has two attacks: the standard attack button executes Dragon Rush, corkscrewing in the direction the Circle Pad or Control Stick is tilted, and the special attack launches Fire Blast at opponents, trapping them in a multi-hitting flame. Dragon Rush deals 24% while Fire Blast deals 16% damage, and both can KO at around 110%.

Unlike [[Super Dragon]], Charizard is not [[invincible]], and taking damage will cause it to transform back to normal sooner. However, it takes only half of the normal damage and has [[super armor]], making it impossible to flinch.

If it hasn't taken any damage, Mega Charizard X's transformation will last up to 12 seconds.

==Spirit==
While Mega Charizard X does not make a playable return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', as {{SSBU|Charizard}} now instead participates in the {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s [[Triple Finish]] again, it does reappear as a [[spirit]].

==Origin==
[[File:MegaCharizard-X USUM.png|thumb|left|Charizard Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X in ''Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon''.]]
{{s|Bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} is a mechanic introduced in ''{{s|Bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}''. Only a relatively small amount of fully evolved Pokémon can Mega Evolve, and to do so they must hold a special {{s|Bulbapedia|Mega Stone}} unique to their species. A single Pokémon on a trainer's team can Mega Evolve once during each battle (or in Contest Spectaculars as of ''{{s|Bulbapedia|Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}''). Mega Evolution dramatically boosts the Pokémon's stats (and sometimes decreases stats in favor of others) and changes the Pokémon's appearance, cry, and sometimes its ability or even its typing. Charizard can Mega Evolve by holding onto a Charizardite X or a Charizardite Y as its item. Charizard is one of two Pokémon (the other being [[Mewtwo]]) that have two Mega Evolution forms, the two forms being an "X" form and a "Y" form, with the particular Mega Stone only appearing in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y'' respectively. Both Mega Stones can be obtained in all games released from ''Pokémon X and Y'' to ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}''. The mechanic has been absent since ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sword and Shield}}'' except in a handful of spin-off games and other media such as in the anime. It is however set to return in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Legends: Z-A}}''.

Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y is the sixth and tenth boss in a upcoming Pokemon Game.

Mega Charizard X specifically induces the most drastic color change of all Mega Evolutions, turning Charizard from orange to black with blue flames. It also changes type from Fire/Flying to Fire/Dragon, and its Attack, Defense and Special Attack stats are increased. Additionally, its Ability changes from Blaze or Solar Power to Tough Claws, which increases the power of all direct-contact attacks.

Fire Blast ({{ja|だいもんじ|Daimonji}}, ''Daimonji'') is a Fire-type special attack with a base power of 110 (120 in Generations prior to VI) and a base accuracy of 85% that's parallel to a few other moves. It has a 10% chance to burn a target (30.1% in Generation I only). Charizard's evolution line is one of the select Fire-types that can only learn this through TM38 in all generations, while others may learn it naturally through leveling up. Its Japanese name is a term for an "uppercase/big letter", hence the kanji for 大 (dai/ō; lit. "big" or "great") is what the attack takes the shape of.

Meanwhile, Dragon Rush is a Dragon-type physical attack that debuted in Generation IV, and is also used as one of the custom move variations for [[Flare Blitz]] in ''Smash''. This makes Charizard one of the few ''Smash'' characters that includes a custom move variation in its base moveset and from a Final Smash.

==Trivia==
*The shape of the Fire Blast is in the shape of the Han character 大, which means "big" and nods to Fire Blast's Japanese/Chinese name.
*Dragon Rush is also a custom variant of ''Flare Blitz''. This distinguishes Charizard as having a variation of a special move that is also available in a Final Smash (although only by name).
*Mega Charizard X is one of the few Final Smashes to be a Spirit.
