Charizard (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Charizard is a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail, which burns with a sizable flame. Charizard has a long neck, small blue eyes, raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing, which is also the point from which a single wing finger passing through the wing's membrane stems. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs and a single cream-colored walking pad under each of its plantigrade feet.

Both Mega Evolved forms feature a shorter snout and white vertical slit pupils, with the bright underside reaching the lower jaw.

As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and walking pads. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The lower trims of its wings are divided into large, rounded points, and each third joint is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue with increased heat.<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-us/story/ ''Mega Evolution'' section of the official site of ''Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!'']</ref>

As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes more sleek and expansive in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer digitigrade feet devoid of walking pads. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated each from the others. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large thorn at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess, being able to reach incredible heights.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pika_vee/pokemon/180809_07.html Mega Charizard Y page on the official Japanese site of ''Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee!'']</ref>
