Mega Charizard Y

FireFlyingMega Charizard Y — Drought special attacker

Mega Charizard Y brings its own sun with Drought, which powers its Fire STAB by 50% and turns Solar Beam into a one-turn nuke. Off its huge Special Attack, a sun-boosted Heat Wave or Overheat threatens to OHKO or 2HKO most neutral targets before you can set up, and Solar Beam punishes the Water/Rock that would normally wall it.

Don't click this

Don't leave your Steel or Grass answer in front of it in the sun — a sun-boosted Fire move that would be a safe switch under neutral weather can outright OHKO. And don't bring a rain/sand plan that loses the weather war to Drought; if the sun stays up, so does the nuke.

Good answers
Rhyperior
RhyperiorLightning Rod

Rock resists Fire and Flying and Rhyperior's bulk eats a sun-boosted Heat Wave, threatening a Rock STAB OHKO back. Watch for Solar Beam — but forcing Charizard onto its Grass move is already a won turn, since it's not clicking Fire that turn.

Archaludon
ArchaludonStamina

Even in sun, Archaludon's special bulk (especially with Assault Vest) lets it survive Heat Wave and answer with Flash Cannon/Draco. It doesn't fold to one nuke the way frailer Steels do.

Milotic
MiloticMarvel Scale

Milotic resists Fire and can bring rain-independent bulk; if your team can swing the weather back (or just tank the sun hit), the sun-boost evaporates and Charizard becomes a manageable special attacker. Haze also erases any Overheat drops working in its favor.

Common partners
A Grass or bulky-Water pivot

Charizard-Y wants a partner that lures or removes its checks (Solar Beam handles Water/Rock, a teammate handles Steel). Keep your weather-setter or bulky Water alive so the sun and the nuke don't get a free turn to snowball.

Every answer on this card was checked against the live learnset and roster data shown above — a citation that no longer holds is dropped, not shown. Type-based answers are computed from base stats and STAB. Speed is the real level-50 maximum. This is deterministic and sourced — no guesses.
