Strategy Overview

Mega Charizard Y is a dangerous spread attacker, dealing massive damage with Sun-boosted Heat Waves. Unlike most Fire-types, Water-types have trouble with Mega Charizard Y because of Drought and Solar Beam. However, Mega Charizard Y heavily relies on the sun to deal damage, and it has an unfortunate weakness to Electric-type attacks, and a 4x weakness to the ever common Rock Slide.

Below is a sample set. This set is likely to be the standard, but it will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
