The difference between Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y

pokemon-sixth-generationpokemon-x-y

I am playing Pokemon X and have two Charizard. One has the Pokemon X mega stone and one has the Pokemon Y mega stone (I got it by trading).

Both mega evolutions are great, but one thing bothers me: is there a difference between the mega evolutions? Besides the color, is there anything different about the Charizard mega evolutions?

Mega Charizard X loses its Flying Type and gains Dragon Typing, affecting the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) of Flying & Dragon moves respectively. It also gets Tough Claws, an ability that increases the strength of physical moves. Its primary boosted stat is Attack

Mega Charizard Y gains the Drought Ability (upping the power of it's fire attacks, and weakening water). Its primary boosted stat is Special Attack. This version of Charizard remains Fire/Flying.

If you have one of each, they should look pretty different in terms of EVs and Movesets. Charizard X would focus more on Physical moves, and drop Flying moves in favour of Dragon ones. Charizard Y would focus on strong Special Attack Fire moves, with Flying for extra coverage.
