Overview
Mega Charizard Y is a flying nuke of a Pokemon. It hits very hard, which can make TDO an issue if not managed via the proper counters. Luckily, many of the top DPS-counters for this raid also sport great resistances and defenses, making this far less of an issue than it seems. If managed correctly, Mega Charizard Y could be the easiest of the starting Mega Raids.
Approach
- Mega Charizard Y is weak to Rock, Water, and Electric.
- Forget that Mega Charizard Y is weak to Water and Electric, just stick with Rock. Compound strong Pokemon with a target Pokemon that has a double-weakness to that type, and you've got the perfect storm
- Electric is objectively worse in this raid.
- So is Water. Just throw rocks.
Battling Strategy
- The ideal Charged Move to fight against is Fire Blast
- If fainting out, dodge more. If running out of time, dodge less.

Mega Charizard Y can do almost nothing to Mega Diancie. This thing resists everything that everyone's favorite not-a-dragon can throw at it, and has the highest DPS of any counter that's not determined to break its skull on Mega Charizard Y.
- Strengths: Fire Spin, Air Slash, Dragon Claw (2x), Fire Blast, Overheat

If Mega Diancie doesn't care what Mega Charizard Y does to it, then Mega Tyranitar isn't even aware of this fire-lizard's existence. This monster has tremendous TDO that outlasts everything in the game, and its DPS is great to back that raw power up.
- Strengths: Fire Spin, Air Slash, Fire Blast, Overheat
- Weaknesses: None

Please, please don't TM away Dragon Ascent for Ancient Power. Mega Rayquaza is solid here, but it's definitely not worth such a tremendous cost!

Mega Aggron has lost its Rock typing, but it can still hit hard despite a lack of STAB.... even though it's weak to Fire now.
- Strengths: Air Slash, Dragon Claw

Shadow Ramparados is an incoming asteroid, streaking across the sky with the sole goal of bringing about the extinction of a certain flaming reptile.

The hulking TDO/DPS mix itself, Shadow Rhyperior causes heavy damage to Mega Charizard Y and lasts a very, very long time.

While not quite as much of an extinction-level event as its Shadow, Ramparados still does heavy damage.

A bit overlooked, Shadow Gigalith is a very strong Rock Type with a great mix of DPS and TDO. It's hard to go wrong when adding it to your team.

One of the once-and-former kings of the Rock Type, Shadow Tyranitar has fallen off a bit in the face of the tremendously powerful Shadows that it directly competes with. However, it's still an outstanding Pokemon that puts in great DPS and TDO alike.

An old-fashioned Rock titan, Rhyperior still has the muscle to counter Mega Charizard Y pretty hard.

Terrakion's Fighting sub-type means that it loses Rock's resistance to Air Slash, but it's still fine.

Shadow Aggron doesn't resist Mega Charizard Y's Fire Type moves, so its average performance tends to fall off. Still, at least it double-resists Air Slash and resists Dragon Claw as well, so that's... something?
