How to use Charizard-Mega-X in the current VGC format

Charizard-Mega-X is listed as a Fire/Dragon type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Charizard-Mega-X fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Tough Claws, Charizardite X and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Protect, Flare Blitz, Dragon Dance, Dragon Claw, Breaking Swipe, and Roost. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Charizard-Mega-X has important weaknesses to dragon 2x, ground 2x, rock 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, milotic, sinistcha, incineroar, and tyranitar-mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
