Is Mega Charizard X good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Tier B at rank #18 makes Mega Charizard X a useful Fire-type filler rather than an endgame pick. Build one if your Fire bench is thin, but keep the XL Candy for something stronger.
- Attack is its highest stat (273), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 6 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.
