Charizard, along with Pikachu, is one of the most iconic Pokémon in the series, so it only makes sense that Mega Charizard X was one of the first to get a Mega Evolution in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon GO. These new evolutions require the use of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mega Energy to bring select Pokémon to l💫evels beyond their final evolutions, but there are precious few ways to go about obtaining this special energy.

If you have a Charizard of your own you want to beef it up to this new power level, you'll need to know the best counters and movesets of Mega Charizard X before 🐬you try taking⛄ on his Raid Battle to earn some of that rare Mega Energy.

Pokémon GO Charizard X - Analysis

Unlike a regular Charizard, which is a Fire and Flying type, Charizard X is a Fire and Dragon type Pokémon. That's right, the Pokémon that most resembles a dragon can now be an actual Dragon type. While that may be exciting to think about, it does come with some repe♒rcussions for you when trying to battle one. This change in types means Charizard X won't have double weaknesses like a regular Charizard, but instead has regular weaknesses toꦐ Rock, Ground, and Dragon.

Charizard X will have no major surprises in term🐭s of moves, but that doesn't mean they don't pack a major punch. Fire type moves like Fire Spin and Ember are common, as well as Blast Burn, but he might also still have a strong Ai🌠r Slash or Wing Attack.

Mega Charizard X gains a major boost to its Fire type moves in sunny weather, but will also help any Ground types you have if you're looking to capitalize on that type advantage. If the weather is partly cloudy or windy then taking i🐎n a Dragon will be your best bet, so long as you're careful of any Air Slashes or Dragon Claws coming at you.

Pokémon Go Charizard X — Best Counters

There are two choices that stand above the rest for countering a Mega Charizard X - Rayquaza and💮 Salamence. These are two Dragon types that most players should have at least one of in their collection. Because they're both Dragon types, they will be solid choices regardless of the weather, and more resisꦰtant to any fire attacks. The only downside is, just like Mega Charizard X, they are also weak to Dragon moves like Dragon Claw.

Rayquaza is the better option of the two because of its better base stats, s𒁃pecifically in attack,🐼 though the slightly lower defense means you'll need to be an efficient dodger. The same is also true for Salamence, but is just a slightly better choice than other Dragon types even with its somewhat low stamina and defense stats.

Alternate choices for good Dragon type counters are Palkia, Zekrom, Gar🔴chomp, Haxorus, Reshiram, and Dragonite. Solid Rock type counters are Rampardos, Rhyperior, and Terrakion.
