Mega Charizard X (メガリザードンX, Mega Lizardon X), known officially as Mega Evolution, is Charizard's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4. This move is similar to Super Dragon, causing the newly transformed Charizard to constantly fly: Mega Charizard X will slowly move forward if no buttons are pressed. Mega Charizard X has two attacks: a physical one where it uses Dragon Rush to spin in the direction the Circle Pad or Control Stick is tilted (which is set to the standard attack button), and a projectile, allowing Charizard to shoot Fire Blasts at opponents which traps them in a multi-hitting flame in the shape of the kanji, 大 ("big" in japanese) (which is set to the special attack button). Dragon Rush deals 24% while Fire Blast deals 16% damage, and both can KO at around 110%.
Unlike most transformation-type Final Smashes, Charizard is not invincible for the duration, and can take damage from attacks which will cause it to transform back to normal sooner. However, super armor will be applied as nothing will send it flying during the Mega Evolution.
Trophy Description
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 invulnerable, though-in fact, taking damage will actually reduce the time you can stay transformed.

Origin
Mega Evolution is a mechanic introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Only a small amount of Pokémon—including Charizard—can Mega Evolve, and to do so it must hold a special 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.
