Pokémon UNITE Mega Charizard Y Tips

Mega Charizard Y is an all-rounder in the game. This allows it to be great at both offence and endurance. It can tank attacks from the enemy and deal serious damage. It has an elite level of mobility and is a decent scorer. If you can level it up in time, it can be a perfect endgame in the current meta of the game.

• Early game: Since Mega Charizard Y is an all-rounder, levelling it up isn't going to be easy. You need to focus on levelling it up in the early game. Disengage from fights in the first 3 minutes and farm as much as possible to get it up to level 7. The best way to do so is to farm the centre space of the map, taking all the Audinos and Aipoms.

• Mid Game: In the midgame, if your Charizard levels up to at least level 7-8, you can help your team get the Rottom or Regirock in either lane to get the advantage.
• Endgame: Mega Charizard Y will prove to be a menace in the endgame if levelled up to 13 or above. You can save the Unite move for the final Rayquaza fight and eliminate 2-3 Pokémon from the opposition team pretty much on your own.

Pokémon UNITE Mega Charizard Y Best Teams

Being an all-rounder, the team in which you use Mega Charizard Y must contain at least a supporter, 2 attackers and one speedster. If a healer protects Mega Charizard Y during battles with its moves that restore HP, Mega. Charizard Y can literally tank full-blown Unite moves. The best Pokémon that can be used in a team with Mega Charizard Y are:

• Blissey - For Support
• Comfey - For Support
• Umbreon - For Defence
• Goodra - For Defence and Tank.

Pokémon UNITE Mega Charizard Y Final Review

Mega Charizard Y is very overpowered in the current meta. Being one of the fan favourites, it is expected to be overused and hence may face a nerf in the immediate future update. Having said that, it is a good all-rounder to pick as it can attack, tank and even score. For this meta, Mega Charizard Y will help you reach the master stage very quickly. For the ones who are late at joining the event, it will be a reasonable pick for round 840 Aeos Gems or 15000 Aeos Coins(Cost is a prediction).
