''In this powerful Final Smash, Charizard Mega Evolves into Mega Charizard X and takes to the air. In this form, it charges violently in any direction or shoot horizontal blasts of fire that launch foes. Mega Charizard X isn't vulnerable, though-in fact, taking damage will actually reduce the time you can stay transformed.''

==Description from the 3DS version's foldout==

''"Evolve into Mega Charizard X. Breathe fire with {{button|3DS|B}}."''

{{s|Bulbapedia|Mega Evolution}} is a mechanic introduced in ''{{s|Bulbapedia|Pokémon X and Y}}''. Only a small amount of Pokémon—including Charizard—can Mega Evolve, and to do so it must hold a special {{s|Bulbapedia|Mega Stone}} unique to its species. A Pokémon can Mega Evolve in battle, but a trainer can only use one Mega Evolution per battle. The Mega Evolution can change some of the following to the Pokémon itself such as stronger stats (a few Mega Evolutions sometimes decrease stats in favor for others), a different typing, and a different ability. 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.

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. Finally, its Ability changes from Blaze (normal Ability) or Solar Power (Hidden Ability) to Tough Claws, further increasing the power of all direct-contact attacks.

==Trivia==

*In {{For3ds}}, most transformation Final Smashes have extended load times before the character transforms, such as [[Giga Mac]] or [[Mega Lucario]], most likely due to the 3DS' lack of processing power. Mega Charizard X is an exception however, as he changes forms and back almost immediately; this might be due to his transformation only having two usable moves, unlike other transformations which give their fighter an entire boosted moveset.
