Basic Information:

  • Availability: Typically found in specific locations or given as a gift in certain games where Mega Evolution is available.

Effect:

In-Game Use:

  • Used to Mega Evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard Y, enhancing its Special Attack and Speed.
  • Mega Charizard Y gains a significant boost in Fire-type move power thanks to the Drought ability, which also weakens Water-type moves.
  • Available in games that feature Mega Evolution, such as Pokémon X and Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Sun and Moon, and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
  • Typically obtained through specific in-game events or locations; in Pokémon X and Y, it's given by Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City if the player chose Charmander as a starter.

Strategic Applications:

  • Mega Charizard Y is a powerhouse in battles with its high Special Attack and access to moves like Flamethrower, Solar Beam (which requires no charge turn in sunlight), and Air Slash.

  • Commonly used in strategies focusing on sun teams or teams that capitalize on Charizard's sweeping potential.
  • It is less physically defensive than its counterpart, Mega Charizard X, making it more vulnerable to Rock-type moves.
