My team is weak to fight mostly lucario so i saw two of my favorite pokemon of X and Y and wanted to know

Answer 1

Charizard (X)

With charizard having the ability to mega evolve, it is a better option to go with charizard.
Sure, talonflame has acrobatics and is faster but with Charizard X, it gets over the weakness of Stealth Rock,rock type, electric type, water type and has higher attack power.

Talonflame(Y)

Talonflame carries acrobatics and can kill charizard Y

Overall, Talonflame for Y and Charizard for X plus mega evolution.

Comments

Uhmm, Charizard X doesn't get rid of the rock weakness it just stops being quad, but also adds the weakness of dragon, fairy and ground type moves while now resists electric and makes water neutral. It just removes 2 weaknesses to get 3 other ones. In general, becomes weaker. Generally talonflame with flame blitz and acrobatics deals more damage than any mega charizard.

Answer 2

Talonflame is fast and has gale wings.
Charizard is slower, but can mega evolve and has higher attack.
Choose whichever appeals to your team, speed + priority or strength.
