Preparations

To make the quest go as smoothly as possible, these preparations should be made:

• A Flying type Pokémon, that is not Dragon, that knows a Fire and Dragon type move. Its Attack, Defense, Special Attack, and Speed IVs must also be a combined 60 or above.
• A level 100 Dragon type Pokémon that knows a Fire type move and the move Dragon Dance. It will also need to have 25 or more IVs in either Attack or Special Attacke, and 252 EVs in either one of those stats. It must also have your OT.

Instructional Walkthrough

To begin the quest, make your way to Cinnabar Lab in Cinnabar Island. Once there, speak with R'ual and he will tell you about his research into a third Mega evolution for Charizard. He will request your assistance since his previous assistant recently quit, and as a reward for assisting him, he will give you the Charizardite X. The first task he gives you is to show him a level 60 pure Fire type that knows a Flying type move. Below is a list of all eligible Pokémon.
