Introduced in Generation VI with Pokémon X and Y, Mega Charizard X is one of two possible Mega Evolutions for Charizard, the other being Mega Charizard Y.

Charizard's enduring popularity and its dual Mega Evolution forms solidify its status as one of the most recognizable and beloved Pokémon, consistently appearing in merchandise, spin-off games, and competitive play. Its evolution line represents a classic journey from a small, cute starter to a powerful, majestic dragon-like creature, captivating fans across generations.
