The Ultimate Guide to Catching Ultra Rare Shiny Mega Charizard X and Y in Pokemon GO!

The Y variant has a maximum CP of 5037, while the X variant can reach a maximum CP of 5037 in Pokemon GO. In terms of offensive power, the Mega Charizard Y variant showcases greater strength compared to the X variant. This guide provides all the necessary information to obtain a Shiny Mega Charizard X and Shiny Mega Charizard Y.

Pokemon GO: How to get Shiny Mega Charizard X and Shiny Mega Charizard Y

To mega evolve a Shiny Charizard into a Shiny Mega Charizard X or Y, players must first obtain a Shiny Charizard. This can be done by participating in Pokemon GO Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y raids or evolving a wild Shiny Charmander. It is essential to already possess a Shiny Charizard before proceeding to mega evolve it into either variant.

Once a Shiny Charizard is obtained, the next step is the Mega evolution process. Evolving a Shiny Charizard into a Shiny Mega Charizard X or Y requires 200 Pokemon GO Mega Energy. This energy can be acquired by participating in raids, completing specific Research tasks, and engaging in daily activities with a buddy Pokemon from the Charmander evolutionary line.

Upon accumulating 200 Mega Energy, individuals should proceed to the stat page of Shiny Charmander and select the Pokemon GO Mega Evolve button. A prompt will appear, offering the option to choose between Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y evolution. The cost for each evolution is 200 Mega Energy, and as more players Mega Evolve the creature, the cost decreases.

With a stat spread of 273 (ATK), 213 (DEF), and 186 STA, Shiny Mega Charizard X possesses formidable abilities. On the other hand, Shiny Mega Charizard Y's stats consist of 319 (ATK), 212 (DEF), and 186 (STA). The optimal Pokemon GO moveset for Mega Y Charizard involves Ember and Blast Burn, which yields a DPS of 25.51. In contrast, Mega X Charizard excels with a moveset combining Dragon Breath and Blast Burn, resulting in a DPS of 22.13.
