Raid bosses frequently rotate in Pokemon GO, as various special events or in-game celebrations will see these monsters coming and passing. Thankfully, this allows Trainers to battle against and capture many different kinds of Pokemon, to help build their collection.

However, with Raid bosses only being in rotation for a limited time, this leaves Trainers with a slim window to prepare suitable teams and go up against these beats in battle. To help ensure you are fully prepared to face Mega Charizard Y in Pokemon GO, knowing the key weaknesses and resistances, as well as the best counters, will come in handy. All of this information has been outlined in the guide below, to point Trainers in the right direction.

Pokemon GO: Mega Charizard Y Weakness & Resistances

mega charizard y pokemon go

In Pokemon GO, Mega Charizard is a Fire and Flying Dual-Type monster. Because of this Type combination, Mega Charizard Y will be weak to Pokemon or moves of the Electric or Water Type, and 2x weak to Rock Type moves or Pokemon. For this reason, players should prioritize using Pokemon or moves of this Type when possible, as they will deliver much more damage.

In addition to these weaknesses, Mega Charizard Y will also have some key resistances to Pokemon and moves of the Fairy, Steel, Fighting, Fire, Bug, Grass, and Ground Types. Furthermore, Mega Charizard Y's power can be increased in Windy and Sunny weather, so players may wish to avoid these Raid locations when possible to give themselves the best chance at success.
