Mega Charizard Y

All Rounder

Best Mega Charizard Y Build - Standard Meta DPS Guide

Intermediate A-Tier current patch

Win Conditions

Secure level 9 before major objectives and use Seismic Slam during critical team fights to create knockout advantages that translate into objective control and goal scoring opportunities

Power Spikes

Level 9 (Seismic Slam unlock) is the primary power spike, with subsequent Unite Move charges at approximately 90-second intervals providing recurring windows of dominance throughout mid and late game

Team Role

Primary team fight damage dealer during Unite Move windows, responsible for area-of-effect burst damage on grouped enemies and securing critical knockouts during objective contests

Game Strategy

Early Game

Focus on farming efficiently to reach level 9 as quickly as possible, as Seismic Slam becomes available and transforms the game state
Prioritize wild Pokemon camps and maintain lane pressure without overextending, preserving HP for the crucial Unite Move timing
Coordinate with your team to secure first Drednaw or Rotom, as having Seismic Slam available for these fights provides massive advantage

Mid Game

Position aggressively once Seismic Slam is available, looking for 3+ enemy groupings to maximize Flamethrower and Fire Blast area damage
Use Mega Charizard Y transformation during contested objectives like Regieleki or second Drednaw to secure team fight victories
Maintain safe distance during Mega Evolution, utilizing the extended range of Flamethrower and Fire Blast to avoid enemy dive attempts while dealing consistent damage

Late Game

Reserve Seismic Slam for Rayquaza fights or final goal defense scenarios where the transformation's damage window is most impactful
Coordinate Unite Move timing with your team's engage, activating Mega Charizard Y after enemies commit their crowd control abilities
Focus Fire Blast on grouped enemies near objectives to secure knockouts and create numerical advantages for final pushes

Advanced Tips

Item Synergies

Energy Amplifier + Seismic Slam creates a powerful damage spike immediately upon transformation, with the cooldown reduction ensuring more frequent Unite Move availability throughout the match
Muscle Band + Scope Lens combination amplifies basic attack damage during Mega Charizard Y form, making the transformation threatening even between ability cooldowns and improving objective burn speed

Matchups

Strong against: Grouped squishy Attackers and Speedsters who cluster during team fights, making them vulnerable to Flamethrower and Fire Blast area damage
Weak against: High-mobility Speedsters like Absol or Zeraora who can dodge Fire Blast and punish positioning, and Defenders with crowd control that can interrupt the transformation's damage output

Additional Notes

The Standard Mega Charizard Y build maximizes damage output during the Unite Move transformation by combining attack speed, critical hits, and Unite Move charge rate optimization.
Muscle Band provides essential attack speed and percentage-based damage for both basic attacks and enhanced attacks during Mega Evolution, allowing Mega Charizard Y to pressure opponents between Flamethrower and Fire Blast cooldowns.
Energy Amplifier is the core item for this build, increasing Seismic Slam's recharge rate and providing a significant damage boost immediately after activating the Unite Move, synergizing perfectly with the transformation's damage window.
Scope Lens amplifies critical hit damage, making basic attacks during Mega Charizard Y form more threatening and improving wild Pokemon clear speed for objective control.
Full Heal provides essential crowd control immunity, protecting Charizard before the Unite Move is available and ensuring Mega Charizard Y can execute its full damage rotation without interruption.
The Brown/White emblem combination maximizes offensive stats while providing necessary HP to survive team fight engagement, with Attack and Critical-Hit Rate prioritization for optimal damage scaling.
