Mega Charizard X Vs Y in Pokemon GO
When selecting which form of Mega Evolution you should go for with your Charizard in Pokemon GO, you should choose Y. The reason why I say this is based on its stats. It is not that Mega Charizard X is bad just Y is a bit better. Below let us check why you should go with each Pokemon.
Mega Charizard X
Let us start by checking its base stats, it gets:
- Max CP: 4353
- Stamina: 186
- Attack: 273
- Defense: 213
- Max HP: 169 (at level 50)
- Min HP: 156 (at level 50)
If you plan on evolving it into Charizard X then you should know it is a Fire Dragon-type Pokemon. Thus it is 2 times weak to Dragon, Rock & Ground-type Pokemon. But it also deals 2x damage to Bug, Steel, Grass, Dragon, and Ice-type Pokemon.
Mega Charizard Y
These are the base stats of this Pokemon:
- Max CP: 5037
- Stamina: 186
- Attack: 319
- Defense: 212
- Max HP: 169 (at level 50)
- Min HP: 156 (at level 50)
When you evolve it into Charizard Y its typing remains the same, that is it is still a Fire Flying-type Pokemon. As such it is 4 times weak to Rock-type and takes 2 times damage from Water and Electric. But in exchange, it is 2 times strong against Fighting, Bug, Steel, Ice, and Grass types of Pokemon.
Thanks to Pokemon GO Hub for the above stats.
Pokemon GO should you Choose Mega Charizard X or Y?
If you need a really strong Pokemon in terms of stats then go with Mega Evolution Y as it has a clear advantage in Max CP And Attack when compared to Mega Charizard X. But if you don’t have a good Dragon-type Pokemon and are looking to add one to your team then you should go with Mega Charizard X.
