$x^2+y^2=x^{(\sqrt\pi)}$ I was messing around on desmos, and graphed this and cannot figure out how to flip it over the x axis. Appreciate the help

How to flip this equation on a graph

Ah that's simple.
how to do that
If you exchange the x with the - you get the graph rotated $90^{\circ}$ counter-clockwise (this is always the case). This is because $+y$ is a $90^{\circ}$ counter-clockwise rotated $+x$.:
$ y^{2} + x^{2} = y^{\sqrt{\pi}} $ is $ y^{2} + x^{2} = x^{\sqrt{\pi}} $ but rotated $90^{\circ}$ counter-clockwise.
If you now multiply all $y$ by $-1$, the graph that you rotated $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise now rotates $180^{\circ}$ counterclockwise (this is always the case too). This is because we use it to mirror the therm about the x-axis.
$ (-y)^{2} + x^{2} = y^{2} + x^{2} = (-y)^{\sqrt{\pi}} $ is $ y^{2} + x^{2} = x^{\sqrt{\pi}} $ but rotated $90^{\circ}$ clockwise.
soluton
Aka you're soluton is $ y^{2} + x^{2} = (-y)^{\sqrt{\pi}} $
The plot of this $ y^{2} + x^{2} = (-y)^{\sqrt{\pi}} $:
