Mega Charizard X Raid Guide

Mega X Charizard

Mega Charizard X is a Fire and Dragon-type Mega Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. Top counters include strong Dragon, Ground, and Rock-type Pokémon.

Note: You cannot catch Mega Charizard X in its Mega form. After the raid, you’ll encounter a regular Charizard, and the following CP values apply to the base form:

• 1574 – 1651 CP (Level 20, no weather boost)
• 1968 – 2064 CP (Level 25, boosted by Sunny or Windy weather)

For an efficient clear, we recommend 3–5 high-level trainers with strong counters. If your team is lower-level or lacks ideal Pokémon, bring additional friends to ensure success.

This guide covers everything you need to defeat Mega Charizard X: best counters, CP values, optimal moves, and more.

How to Get Mega Charizard X

In order to get Mega Charizard X you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution.

Once you Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time, Mega Energy will no longer be required for that specific Pokémon to Mega Evolve again. Instead, the Pokémon will become exhausted after its Mega Evolution and need to rest before being Mega Evolved again. In other words, there is now a cooldown period after you Mega Evolve a Pokémon.

You can level up your Mega Pokémon in order to decrease this cooldown period. You can use more energy to end the cooldown period early.

Shiny Charizard and Mega Charizard X

You can catch the shiny version of Charizard from a Raid, or catch a wild shiny Charmander and evolve it. To obtain shiny Mega Charizard X you need to evolve a shiny Charizard and then Mega evolve it.
