Mega Charizard Y retains the Fire and Flying types of the regular Charizard, while Mega Charizard X discards its Flying type in favor of a Dragon-typing.
Due to its dual-typing, Mega Charizard X removes its previous 4x weakness to Rock-type moves, and receives normal damage from Water, and Fairy moves instead. Mega Charizard X also resists Electric types, unlike the regular Charizard and Mega Charizard Y, but now receives 2x damage from Ground and Dragon-type moves.
