PvE Analysis

Mega Charizard Y may not be as generally popular as Mega Charizard X, but due to how stats translate into Pokemon Go, it is the overall stronger variant. In fact, Mega Charizard Y rates among some of the top Pokemon in the game for raw DPS. This is one of the go-to options whenever Fire-type attackers are needed.

Mega Charizard Y's only real competition is Mega Blaziken. And, unfortunately, Mega Blaziken does out-DPS everyone's favorite fire-lizard. However, Mega Charizard Y's Flying sub-typing tends to allow it to pull ahead in the TDO battle, occasionally to such a large degree that it can actually surpass Mega Blaziken in terms of total average performance. Regardless, these two are very much competitive, and Mega Charizard Y is a must-have if you want to flesh out your Fire team.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

  • Fire Spin is Mega Charizard Y’s best fast move and is strictly superior to Ember.

  • Wing Attack is preferable to Air Slash and should be paired with Air Cutter for a full Flying Type moveset.

  • Blast Burn* makes Mega Charizard Y one of the absolute strongest Fire-type attackers in the game

  • Overheat is Mega Charizard Y's best non-Elite charged move and beats Fire Blast and Flamethrower soundly.

  • Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw can work as a pseudo-dragon attacker, but are best reserved for Mega Charizard X.
  • Return has no purpose for Mega Charizard Y.
