>>15064410The damage boost to fire moves from drought it equivocal to the boost X's ability gives to phsyical moves, so it ultimately comes down to what you want in a charizard - someone who can use flare blitz and outrage for high-risk high-reward massive physical damage, or a riskily-typed special sweeper who can use solarbeam as soon as he comes out?
I prefer X, myself. There are plenty of better spec sweepers in the game, and weather's much more underwhelming than before. Meanwhile X is the only non-legendary fire / dragon, has GREAT damage / speed, can learn dragon dance and retains a pretty great sp.atk stat for something like Overheat. He's pretty much the ideal mixed sweeper.
