This Second Charizard Mega Evolution is Completely Badass!

As if Charizard getting one Mega Evolution wasn’t enough, how about seconds?

Nintendo has released promotional screenshots of Mega Charizard X, a new, much more vicious looking form of the popular starter, joining Mewtwo as the only other Pokemon that has two Mega Evolutions.

Not only does this new form sport a new black color, but its split, spiked wings and blue flames are the stuff of legends, (or nightmares if you have to square off with this thing.) In addition to the visual changes, Charizard ditches its flying typing in favor of becoming a dragon, effectively making it dragon/fire type until the end of the battle, at which point it will revert to its standard form.

Charizard X potentially rounds out the starters’ new forms.

Mega Charizard X joins Mega Charizard Y, Mega Venusaur, Mega Blastoise and many other new versions of old favorites that will surely be revealed throughout the course of Pokemon X and Y, which is only a short week away. Check back for more updates as October 12th draws ever so closer.
