Abilities

Solar Power (Charizard) - When Charizard uses a move, it deals increased damage but loses some HP. Solar Power’s effect does not trigger when Charizard is in tall grass. When Charizard deals damage with a basic attack to opposing Pokémon that have been burned by its moves, HP is restored.

Tough Claws (Mega Charizard X) - Mega Charizard X gains a boost counter each time a move hits opposing Pokémon (maximum 3 counters). When a boost counter is consumed, Mega Charizard X’s next basic attack becomes a boosted attack and is guaranteed to be a critical hit. When Mega Charizard X deals damage with a basic attack to opposing Pokémon that have been burned by its moves, HP is restored.

Basic Attack

Charizard’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, dealing increased damage.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves

Choose one at Lv. 1 and the other at Lv. 3.

Flame Burst - Charmander attacks with a bursting flame. When Flame Burst hits, it leaves opposing Pokémon burned and increases Charmander’s movement speed for a short time.

Fire Spin - Charmander encircles opposing Pokémon in the area of effect in a vortex of fire. After Fire Spin hits, it deals damage over time and decreases the movement speed of opposing Pokémon for a short time.

Lv. 5 Move

Fire Punch - Charmeleon punches with a fiery fist, dealing damage and shoving opposing Pokémon when it hits. It also leaves the opposing Pokémon it shoves burned. Fire Punch can be upgraded to reduce its cooldown every time a basic attack hits.

Lv. 7 Move

Flare Blitz - Charizard charges forward cloaked in fire, throwing opposing Pokémon and granting itself a shield. Flare Blitz can be upgraded to decrease the movement speed of opposing Pokémon for a short time when they are thrown by it.

Mega Charizard X’s Unite Move

Seismic Slam - Charizard grabs a Pokémon from the opposing team and slams it onto the ground from the air. After using this Unite Move, Charizard Mega Evolves.

Press Release - Mega Charizard X Available Now in Pokémon UNITE

Bellevue, WA — October 24, 2025 — Today, The Pokémon Company group announced that Mega Charizard X, a Mega Evolution of Charizard discovered in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games, is now available in Pokémon UNITE.

Mega Charizard X is available via a Mega Evolution Unite license, which differs from a regular Unite license and allows Trainers to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after using its Unite Move in battle. When Mega Evolved, these Pokémon have drastically improved stats and moves for a short amount of time, meaning they can change the tide of battle. Unlike their standard Unite license counterparts, who can choose moves from two tracks, Mega Evolution Unite license Pokémon will also be limited to a single fixed moveset, making for a unique experience.

Mega Charizard X Unite License Event

To celebrate, Pokémon UNITE will hold an event from October 24 to November 14, 2025. During this event, players can complete missions to collect research data which increases their research progress up to a total of 100% – with research coins being obtainable along the way. Research coins gained from this event can be exchanged to earn the Unite Mega Evolution license for Mega Charizard X. After the event finishes, the Mega Evolution Unite license for Mega Charizard X will also be available at the Unite Battle Committee shop in exchange for either Aeos coins or Aeos gems.
