PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

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

  • Wing Attack is preferable to Air Slash and equal to Fire Spin if both have the same effectiveness.

  • 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 Mega Charizard X.

PVE Overview

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. It's such a shame that it doesn't have any Flying Type Charged Moves, as it would be such a welcomes addition to that family. Still, this is the go-to option whenever Fire-type attackers are needed, as long as Mega Energy is available. 

Long-term, Mega Charizard Y will have the second highest DPS among the Fire-DPS Mega Evolutions. It will fall a bit behind Mega Blaziken, but also has higher TDO and a different sub-typing to differentiate itself, which also means a different secondary type boost. Overall, Mega Charizard Y will likely never fall from grace.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Fire Spin or Wing Attack* or Dragon Breath* + Blast Burn and Dragon Claw

Fire Spin deals more damage with STAB, while Wing Attack offers slightly more energy generation. Either can work depending on preferred coverage. Dragon Breath is a powerful move, but lacks STAB, and falls behind vs neutral opponents. 

Blast Burn is a limited to Community Day events and Elite TMs, but is an incredibly powerful move, highly energy efficient, and almost mandatory for optimal use of Mega Charizard Y. Dragon Claw costs less energy, and can be used frequently.
