Okay, let’s talk about getting that Mega Charizard Y in Pokémon GO. I gotta say, this one was a bit of a grind, but totally worth it in the end. So, first things first, I started looking up which Pokémon are the best to take on this beast. I saw a bunch of people online mentioning Mega Diancie, Shadow Rampardos, and Shadow Rhyperior, so I figured those were a good place to start.
I already had a pretty decent Shadow Rhyperior, so I powered him up as much as I could. I didn’t have Mega Diancie or Shadow Rampardos, so I focused on getting candies for those. Luckily, I had a few friends who were also trying to get Mega Charizard Y, so we started doing raids together whenever we saw them pop up.

Now, battling Mega Charizard Y, it’s no joke. It hits really hard. I learned that the hard way a few times. I noticed that it’s weak against Rock, Ground, and Dragon-type moves, so I made sure my team was stacked with those.
- Shadow Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker was a real MVP.
- Mega Tyranitar was another heavy hitter that I added to my team.
- I used a Mega Aerodactyl as well when I get it.
Teamwork is key in these Mega Raids. My friends and I would coordinate our attacks, using our strongest Pokémon and timing our charged moves to maximize damage. After a few tries, we finally took down Mega Charizard Y!
But that was just the beginning. We needed to do a bunch more raids to get enough Mega Energy to actually Mega Evolve my own Charizard. It took a while, but eventually, I had enough. Let me tell you, Mega Evolving Charizard into Mega Charizard Y for the first time was awesome. It looks so cool, and its power boost is insane.
I started using Mega Charizard Y in battles, and wow, it’s a game-changer. Its Drought ability that boosts Fire-type attacks is a big deal. I’ve been able to take down some tough opponents with it.
Final Thoughts
Getting Mega Charizard Y in Pokémon GO was definitely a challenge, but it was a fun one. It’s a powerful Pokémon that’s worth the effort. If you’re going after it, make sure you team up with friends, use the right counters, and be patient. It might take a while, but it’s super satisfying when you finally get it.
