Mega Charizard Y is one of the best Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO if you consider the Fire typing. Sky-high offenses and access to the powerful Blast Burn make it among the top choices against Pokémon weak to Fire-type attacks, where it excels against certain matchups.

Let's find out the cases where Mega Charizard Y is the premier attacker and others, where it's either slightly lower in power or outclassed completely.

🔥 Fire type

Mega Charizard Y and Mega Blaziken compete with each other for dishing out the highest Fire-type DPS, but there are certain scenarios where each performs better than the other.

As a Fire/Flying Pokémon, Mega Charizard Y resists Bug, Grass, and Steel, three types it counters. However, the Flying subtyping renders it particularly efficient against Bug and Grass Pokémon. As such, Mega Charizard Y is the leading counter to beat these Pokémon.

It is also fantastic against Steel types but Mega Blaziken with its Fighting subtyping is often more reliable in that role.

🪽 Flying type

Mega Charizard Y is quite outclassed as a Flying-type attacker and it needs a powerful move like Fly to establish itself as a meta relevant Pokémon.

For one, the Flying meta is led by the omnipotent Mega Rayquaza and even with a good moveset upgrade, Mega Charizard Y will remain a lesser attacker. With even Staraptor and Honchkrow surpassing Mega Charizard Y in the current scene of the meta, don't use it as a Flying type by any means.

⭐ Perks

A top-notch Fire-type DPS Pokémon that is super reliable against Bug, Grass, and Steel type Raid Bosses. It's a far superior option to Mega Charizard X, establishing itself as the preferred Mega Evolution for the iconic Charizard.

Mega Evolutions aren't typically allowed in the GO Battle League but in limited formats like the Mega Master League, Mega Charizard X is a powerful force thanks to Fire and Dragon STAB hitting both Dragon and Steel types for super-effective damage. Not to mention, its stats are amazing. 😍
