Stop building Charizard like Mega Charizard Y is your only option in Pokemon Champions.
Mega Charizard X is quietly becoming one of the scariest physical sweepers in the 2026 meta. While everyone runs Y, Mega X is the ultimate sleeper pick.
Why it works:
- Fire/Dragon typing turns your 4x Rock weakness into a manageable 2x weakness.
- Tough Claws grants a clean 30% damage boost to all contact moves.
The Best Competitive Build:
- Item: Charizardite X
- Nature: Adamant
- EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed
- Moves: Protect, Dragon Dance, Flare Blitz, Dragon Claw
Strategy:
One Dragon Dance allows you to outspeed much of the unboosted meta and land massive Tough Claws-boosted hits. Pair it with Sinistcha for Rage Powder redirection to secure your setup turns and watch your win rate climb.
