[SET COMMENTS]
Mega Charizard Y is a ferocious wallbreaker in National Dex because of its sky high Special Attack stat, great ability in Drought, and passable Speed tier that lets it threaten much of the metagame. Drought sets Mega Charizard Y apart by boosting its Fire-type moves, weakening Water-type moves, ands also letting it use Solar Beam effectively, which makes it a Fire-type that is able to threaten out bulky Water-types such as Tapu Fini and Slowbro. Mega Charizard Y's typing and access to Roost let it check Pokemon like Rillaboom and Mega Scizor reliably throughout a game . Flamethrower has perfect accuracy and high PP, but Fire Blast has explosive power, easily OHKOing Landorus-T and possibly Zapdos as well as 2HKOing offensive Garchomp. Solar Beam complements Mega Charizard Y's STAB move well, severely denting bulky Water-types like Tapu Fini and Slowbro that may try to switch in on Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Scorching Sands rounds off its coverage by OHKOing offensive Heatran while also 2HKOing physically defensive Toxapex after Stealth Rock, and its burn chance can ruin Tyranitar. Roost lets Mega Charizard Y heal off residual damage and check Pokemon like Rillaboom throughout the game. A Timid nature is chosen to outspeed Pokemon like non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Hydreigon, and Tapu Lele.

Mega Charizard Y absolutely hates Stealth Rock, as its health is halved by it, so good Defoggers like Corviknight, Zapdos, and Synthesis Kartana are absolutely mandatory partners for it. Blissey and Chansey are also huge thorns in Mega Charizard Y's side, as it cannot 2HKO them due to their massive special bulk, so Pokemon like Swords Dance Gliscor and Draining Kiss + Stored Power Magearna that can take advantage of them are good partners. Heatran is also a good choice to trap and remove them. Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar, Weavile, and Aegislash can greatly pressure Mega Latias, which can potentially use Mega Charizard Y as setup fodder, and also force damage onto Blissey. Mega Charizard Y struggles with Toxapex, especially if running Focus Blast, so Slowbro and Slowking can pressure it with Future Sight and Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Heatran can beat it directly. Due to Mega Charizard Y's only passable Speed tier, it is prone to getting revenge killed by faster threats like Tapu Koko and Mega Lopunny, so pivots like the aforementioned Slowbro and Blissey can both switch in on these Pokemon and give it free switches via slow pivoting. Similarly, faster pivots like Tapu Koko can lure in bulky Grass-types like Ferrothorn that give Mega Charizard Y free turns while also helping wear down their shared checks, like Blissey. Due to how prolific Mega Charizard Y is as a wallbreaker, late-game cleaners like Shift Gear Magearna and Kartana make good partners for it, as it can break through their checks like Corviknight and Ferrothorn. Entry hazard support from the likes of Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Garchomp helps force damage onto Mega Charizard Y's checks, mainly Toxapex, as it can 2HKO it with Scorching Sands after Stealth Rock.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Weather Ball is an interesting STAB move option, as it has slightly higher Base Power than Flamethrower and smacks Pelipper even in rain, although it's usually not worth the opportunity cost of not having a STAB move in rain or sand. Focus Blast is an option to replace Scorching Sands, notably hitting Tyranitar extremely hard while retaining the ability to smack Heatran. However, it has terrible accuracy and also leaves Mega Charizard Y completely helpless against Toxapex without Future Sight support, so it is generally not advised. Defog is an option, as Mega Charizard Y has a good matchup against common entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Heatran, but its extreme vulnerability to Stealth Rock along with it losing to hazard setters like Garchomp makes it an unreliable Defogger. It also dislikes giving up an important moveslot for it.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Stealth Rock**: Stealth Rock halves Mega Charizard Y's health, severely limiting its ability to switch in and wallbreak. To add insult to injury, some Stealth Rock setters can even set the hazard up in front of it.

**Blissey and Chansey**: Blissey and Chansey are near impossible for Mega Charizard Y to break through due to their massive special bulk, and they can then proceed to either status it or pivot out to a dangerous teammate.

**Dragon-types**. Dragon-types like Mega Latios, Mega Latias, Hydreigon, and Garchomp are tough for Mega Charizard Y to deal with due to their resistance to Fire and Grass. The former two are particularly difficult to deal with due to their good bulk and access to recovery.

**Opposing Weather**: Tyranitar and Mega Tyranitar are huge threats to Mega Charizard Y, as they can switch in and override sun with sand to weaken its STAB move and force Solar Beam to charge, and they then proceed to either KO it with their Rock-type moves or damage it as it tries to switch out with Pursuit. However, they must watch out for Scorching Sands burns and the rare Focus Blast. Pelipper is similarly dangerous, as it can switch in on Mega Charizard Y, override sun with rain, and proceed to either KO it with its Water-type moves or pivot out to a dangerous teammate.

**Toxapex**: Toxapex resists Fire while not being weak to Solar Beam,letting it check Mega Charizard Y well although Scorching Sands and Future Sight support threaten it to a degree.

**Revenge Killers**: Faster Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Mega Lopunny, and Garchomp can revenge kill Mega Charizard Y; however, they, with the exception of Garchomp, cannot switch in on it at all.

Mega Charizard Y is a ferocious wallbreaker in National Dex because of its sky high special attacker stat, great ability in drought and passable speed tier that lets it threaten much of the metagame. Drought is one of Mega Charizard Y's selling points as it weakens water moves and also lets it use Solar Beam effectively, which makes it a fire type that can switch in on and take on most bulky waters weak to grass like Slowbro and Tapu Fini able to threaten out Bulky Water-types such as Tapu Fini and Slowbro consistently this sentence is very awkward, it reads as though the most common bulky waters are not weak to Grass which isn't true, also there's nothing about how Drought powers up its STAB moves, which I feel you should note. Flamethrower is a reliable Fire-STAB move as it has perfect accuracy and high pp, but it's power can leave something to be desired, as it cannot OHKO threats like defensive Landorus-T and Zapdos from full. this is not a good point, Flamethrower doesn't need to OHKO them when they cannot at all switch in to begin with, and being able to 2HKO stuff like SpDef Clefable and Gliscor speaks to how powerful it is, this part should focus on why Flamethrower is a better option than Fire Blast most of the time. Fire Blast, on the other hand, has explosive power easily OHKOing the aforementioned Landorus-T and possibly Zapdos and it also 2HKOs offensive Garchomp, however its poor accuracy makes it inconsistent compared to Flamethrower despite its power. Solar Beam becomes a 1 turn move under sun, and so it is Mega Charizard Y's main coverage move, and it complements its Fire-STAB STAB moves well, severely denting bulky waters like Tapu Fini that may try to switch in on Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Scorching Sands rounds off its coverage OHKOing offensive Heatran, while also 2HKOing physically defensive Toxapex after Stealth Rock also mention that it hits both Tyranitar forms and has the potential to cripple them with a burn. Roost provides Mega Charizard Y with reliable recovery, letting it heal off residual damage and check Pokemon like Rilaboom throughout the game. Blaze is the pre mega ability of choice, as it has no undesirable effects this is fluff, Charizard Y is always going to Mega Evolve the first turn it comes in so I don't think this should be mentioned , and a Timid Nature is chosen to outspeed Pokemon like non Scarf Landorus-T, Hydreigon and Tapu Lele. Mega Charizard Y's typing gives it some useful resistences that give it opportunities to switch in it can check most Rilaboom and Mega Scizor's as it takes limited damage from their Knock Off's due to its Mega Stone. It is also a decent check to Kisspower Magearna for as long as it's not behind Light Screen, as it can tank one boosted Stored Power while being able to OHKO it even at +1, but be careful of switching it into an unrevealed Magearna, as it will get smacked by a Specs Boosted Volt Switch. Do note though, as it cannot check any of these Pokemon if Stealth Rock is on the field. if you are going to mention its typing and what it checks, it should be brief and at the top when you are talking about its niche, this doesn't read well otherwise.


Mega Charizard Y absolutely hates Stealth Rock, as its health is halved by it, so good Defoggers and Rapid Spinners like Corviknight, Zapdos and Synthesis Kartana are great partners for it you said rapid spinners but didn't mention any, I'd just limit it to Defoggers. Blissey and Chansey are also huge thorns in Mega Charizard Y's side, as it cannot 2HKO them due to their massive special bulk, so Pokemon like Swords Dance Gliscor and Setup Magearna that can take advantage of them are good partners, and so are Pursuit Trappers like Weavile, Tyranitar and Aegislash, because they can force damage on them. These Pokemon can also greatly pressure Mega Latias, which is important as it can potentially use Mega Charizard Y as setup fodder. Even with Scorching Sands, Mega Charizard Y can struggle with Toxapex, so Slowbro and Slowking are good partners for it as they can provide it with Future Sight and so are Pokemon like Tapu Koko that can beat it you should mention how Mega Charizard Y needs the support especially if it's running Focus Blast over Scorching Sands, because Toxapex becomes an active struggle without that move. Heatran is a good teammate, as it can trap and KO both Toxapex and Chansey. Due to Mega Charizard Y's only passable speed tier, it is prone to getting revenge killed by faster threats like Tapu Koko and Choice Scarf Landorus-T i don't think Scarf Lando-T is a good example because Lando-T needs a Choice Scarf to outspeed it, I'd mention Mega Latias and Cinderace as examples instead as they are naturally faster, pivots like the aforementioned Slowbro and Blissey are good partners why? what do they do for Charizard Y? you should explain how they support it here . Due to how prolific Mega Charizard Y is as a wallbreaker, Late game cleaners like Shift Gear Magearna and Kartana make good partners for it.

**Blissey and Chansey**: The 2 pink blobs are near impossible for Mega Charizard Y to break through due to their massive special bulk.

**Mega Latias**. Due to its good bulk and resistance to all of Mega Charizard Y's moves, Mega Latias can potentially take advantage of it to set up Calm Minds.

Mega Charizard Y can beat all of these Pokemon with sun up, however.

**Toxapex**: Toxapex resists fire while not being weak to Mega Charizard Y's Solar Beam letting it can check Mega Charizard Y well. Though Scorching Sands and Future Sight can remedy this to a degree it still remains a Decent check

**Revenge Killers**: Faster Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Choice Scarf Landorus-T can revenge kill Charizard, however they cannot switch in on it at all.

There's a lot to add here, let me know when you've implemented everything so I can give it a second look. There's quite a few grammatical issues so I fixed some of them for you.

Solar Beam is Mega Charizard Y's main coverage move, and it complements its STAB moves well, severely denting bulky waters like Tapu Fini You can expand this list, I think; mention some other bulky waters that Solar Beam hits that may try to swich in on Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Scorching Sands rounds off its coverage OHKOing offensive Heatran, while also 2HKOing physically defensive Toxapex after Stealth Rock and it's burn chance can potentially ruin both Tyranitar and its Mega form. Roost provides Mega Charizard Y with reliable recovery, letting it heal off residual damage and check Pokemon like Rilaboom throughout the game. A Timid Nature is chosen to outspeed Pokemon like non Scarf Landorus-T, Hydreigon and Tapu Lele.


Mega Charizard Y absolutely hates Stealth Rock, as its health is halved by it, so good Defoggers like Corviknight, Zapdos and Synthesis Kartana are great partners for it. I think this undersells it a little bit; Defog support is absolutely 100% mandatory for Zard Y and you should emphasize it as such. Blissey and Chansey are also huge thorns in Mega Charizard Y's side, as it cannot 2HKO them due to their massive special bulk, so Pokemon like Swords Dance Gliscor and Shift Gear Magearna Shift Gear Magearna casts too wide of a net here, as SG+3a variants cant really break a proactive Blissey or Chansey. If you are going to mention Mage make sure you emphasize KissPower or something that can take advantage of them are good partners, and so are Pursuit Trappers like Weavile, Tyranitar and Aegislash, I'd rather you emphasize Pursuit Trappers as their own sentence as they are quite important. Trapping the blobs isn't really their main purpose either. Move this down to where you talk about Mega Latias and mention that forcing damage onto the blobs is a secondary positive because they can force damage on them and lastly, Heatran can trap and remove them. The Pursuit trappers put examples here can also greatly pressure Mega Latias, which is important as it can potentially use Mega Charizard Y as setup fodder. Mega Charizard Y struggles with Toxapex, especially if it's running Focus Blast, so Slowbro and Slowking are good partners for it as they can provide it with Future Sight and so are Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Heatran that can beat it. Due to Mega Charizard Y's only passable speed tier, it is prone to getting revenge killed by faster threats like Tapu Koko and Mega Loppuny, so pivots like the aforementioned Slowbro and Blissey that can switch in on these Pokemon are good partners especially because these Pokemon can give it free swiches via slow pivoting. Due to how prolific Mega Charizard Y is as a wallbreaker, Late game cleaners like Shift Gear Magearna and Kartana make good partners for it.

I think you should mention some positives to setting up hazards for zard y; forcing damage onto Pex and chansey is big league, as well as blissey if you happen to knock it off. Could be the last thing.

Focus Blast is an option in place of Scorching Sands, notably hitting Tyranitar and its Mega form extremely hard, OHKOing its base forme even in sand. Mention how it still allows Zard Y to hit Heatran. However, it has terrible accuracy and also leaves Mega Charizard Y completely helpless against Toxapex without massive support, Future Sight Support so it is generally not advised. Defog is an option as Mega Charizard Y has a good matchup against common hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Heatran, but it's extreme vulnerability to Stealth Rock itself makes it unreliable at its job, and it also forces it to give up an important move slot for it. You also don't do so hot against other rockers like Ttar and Chomp. Mention that as well.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Stealth Rock**: Stealth Rock halves Mega Charizard Y's health, severely limiting its ability to switch in and wallbreak. Talk about how you get beaten by some Stealth Rock setters as well.

**Blissey and Chansey**: The 2 pink blobs are near impossible for Mega Charizard Y to break through due to their massive special bulk. And then what? How do they punish Charizard Y?

**Mega Latias**. Due to its good bulk and resistance to all of Mega Charizard Y's moves, Mega Latias can potentially take advantage of it to set up Calm Minds.
This should talk about Dragon-types in general; both Mega Latis give Charizard headaches, Garchomp is a decent enough intermediate check, and Hydreigon can annoy it in some situations but it cant really swap in with rocks up.

**Opposing Weather**: Tyranitar and Mega Tyranitar are huge Threats to Mega Charizard Y as they can switch in and override sun with sand, and then proceed to either KO Charizard with their Rock type moves or damage it as it tries to switch out with Pursuit. However, they must watch out for Scorching Sand burns and the rare Focus Blast. Pelipper is similarly dangerous, as it can switch in on it and override sun with rain and then proceed to either KO Mega Charizard Y with its water moves or pivot out to a dangerous teammate. Mega Charizard Y can beat all of these Pokemon with sun up, however. Sands variants don't 100% beat ttar even if sun is up; solar beam doesn't do quite enough

**Toxapex**: Toxapex resists fire while not being weak to Mega Charizard Y's Solar Beam letting it can check Mega Charizard Y well. Though Scorching Sands and Future Sight can remedy this to a degree it still remains a Decent check

**Revenge Killers**: Faster Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Choice Scarf Landorus-T can revenge kill Charizard, however they cannot switch in on it at all. Mention Garchomp as something that can switch in once and then revenge kill it as well.

I encourage you to review the Spelling and Grammar standards and edit accordingly; GP will rip this apart in its current state.

Flamethrower is a reliable Fire-STAB move as it has perfect accuracy and high pp. Fire Blast, on the other hand, has explosive power easily OHKOing Landorus-T and possibly Zapdos and it also 2HKOs offensive Garchomp, however it's poor accuracy makes it inconsistent compared to Flamethrower despite its power.

Roost provides Mega Charizard Y with reliable recovery, letting it heal off residual damage and check Pokemon like Rilaboom throughout the game. A Timid Nature is chosen to outspeed Pokemon like non Scarf Landorus-T, Hydreigon and Tapu Lele.

I'm not going to go through every grammatical error here as that's not my job, but for GPs sake I would thoroughly scour this and rinse out some of the bigger ones because there are still several misspellings and incorrect capitalizations littered here.

Mega Charizard Y absolutely hates Stealth Rock, as its health is halved by it, so good Defoggers like Corviknight, Zapdos and Synthesis Kartana are absolutely mandatory partners for it. Blissey and Chansey are also huge thorns in Mega Charizard Y's side, as it cannot 2HKO them due to their massive special bulk, so Pokemon like Swords Dance Gliscor and Kisspower Magearna that can take advantage of them are good partners and so is Heatran, which can trap and remove them. Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar, Weavile and Aegislash are great partners for Mega Charizard Y as they can also greatly pressure Mega Latias, which can potentially use it as setup fodder, and also force damage onto Blissey. Mega Charizard Y struggles with Toxapex, especially if it's running Focus Blast, so Slowbro and Slowking are good partners for it as they can provide it with Future Sight and so are Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Heatran that can beat it. Due to Mega Charizard Y's only passable speed tier, it is prone to getting revenge killed by faster threats like Tapu Koko and Mega Loppuny, so pivots like the aforementioned Slowbro and Blissey that can switch in on these Pokemon are good partners especially because these Pokemon can give it free swiches via slow pivoting. Mention other, fast pivots that can help Charizard keep up offensive momentum and help beat down its checks...Koko, for example. Due to how prolific Mega Charizard Y is as a wallbreaker, late-game cleaners like Shift Gear Magearna and Kartana make good partners for it. Talk about what Zard Y breaks for these threats specifically as well... Hazard support from the likes of Ferrothorn, Heatran and Garchomp can help force damage onto Mega Charizard Y's checks, mainly Toxapex and Chansey letting it break through them easier.

===================

**Stealth Rock**: Stealth Rock halves Mega Charizard Y's health, severely limiting its ability to switch in and wallbreak. To add insult to injury, some Stealth Rockers can even set it up in front of it.

**Blissey and Chansey**: The 2 pink blobs are near impossible for Mega Charizard Y to break through due to their massive special bulk, and they can then proceed to either status it or pivot out to a dangerous teammate.

**Dragon-Types**. Dragon types like the Mega Lati twins, Hydreigon and Garchomp are tough for Mega Charizard Y to deal with, due to their resistence to Fire and Grass. The former 2 are particularly difficult to deal with, due to their good bulk and access to recovery.

**Opposing Weather**: Tyranitar and Mega Tyranitar are huge Threats to Mega Charizard Y as they can switch in and override sun with sand, and then proceed to either KO Charizard with their Rock type moves or damage it as it tries to switch out with Pursuit. However, they must watch out for Scorching Sand burns and the rare Focus Blast. Pelipper is similarly dangerous, as it can switch in on it and override sun with rain and then proceed to either KO Mega Charizard Y with its water moves or pivot out to a dangerous teammate.

**Toxapex**: Toxapex resists fire while not being weak to Mega Charizard Y's Solar Beam letting it can check Mega Charizard Y well. Though Scorching Sands and Future Sight can remedy this to a degree it still remains a Decent check

**Revenge Killers**: Faster Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Garchomp can revenge kill Charizard, however they, with the exception of Garchomp, cannot switch in on it at all.

Mega Charizard Y is a ferocious wallbreaker in National Dex because of its sky high Special Attack stat, great ability in Drought, (AC) and passable Speed tier that lets it threaten much of the metagame. Drought is one of Mega Charizard Y's selling points as it boosts sets Mega Charizard Y apart by boosting its Fire-type moves, (AC) while weakening Water-type moves, (AC) and it also lets also letting it use Solar Beam effectively, which makes it a Fire-type (added hyphen) that is able to threaten out bulky Water-types such as Tapu Fini and Slowbro. Mega Charizard Y's typing lets and access to Roost let it check Pokemon like Rillaboom and Mega Scizor reliably throughout a game along with its access to Roost. Flamethrower is a reliable Fire-STAB move as it has perfect accuracy and high PP, (period -> comma) but Fire Blast (RC) on the other hand (RC) has explosive power, (AC) easily OHKOing Landorus-T and possibly Zapdos and it also 2HKOes as well as 2HKOing offensive Garchomp, however it's poor accuracy makes it inconsistent compared to Flamethrower despite its power. Solar Beam is Mega Charizard Y's main coverage move, and it complements its STAB moves complements Mega Charizard Y's STAB move well, severely denting bulky waters Water-types like Tapu Fini and Slowbro that may try to swich switch in on Flamethrower or Fire Blast. Scorching Sands rounds off its coverage by OHKOing offensive Heatran (RC) while also 2HKOing physically defensive Toxapex after Stealth Rock, (AC) and its (removed apostrophe) burn chance can potentially ruin Tyranitar. Roost provides Mega Charizard Y with reliable recovery, letting it lets Mega Charizard Y heal off residual damage and check Pokemon like Rillaboom throughout the game. A Timid nature is chosen to outspeed Pokemon like non-Choice Scarf Landorus-T, Hydreigon, (AC) and Tapu Lele.

Mega Charizard Y absolutely hates Stealth Rock, as its health is halved by it, so good Defoggers like Corviknight, Zapdos, (AC) and Synthesis Kartana are absolutely mandatory partners for it. Blissey and Chansey are also huge thorns in Mega Charizard Y's side, as it cannot 2HKO them due to their massive special bulk, so Pokemon like Swords Dance Gliscor and KissPower Draining Kiss + Stored Power Magearna that can take advantage of them are good partners. (added period) and so is Heatran, which can Heatran is also a good choice to trap and remove them. Pursuit trappers like Tyranitar, Weavile, (AC) and Aegislash are great partners for Mega Charizard Y as they can also can greatly pressure Mega Latias, which can potentially use it Mega Charizard Y as setup fodder, and also force damage onto Blissey. Mega Charizard Y struggles with Toxapex, especially if it's running Focus Blast, so Slowbro and Slowking are good partners for it as they can provide can pressure it with Future Sight and so are Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Heatran that can beat it directly. Due to Mega Charizard Y's only passable Speed tier, it is prone to getting revenge killed by faster threats like Tapu Koko and Mega Loppuny Lopunny, so pivots like the aforementioned Slowbro and Blissey that can both switch in on these Pokemon are good partners especially because these Pokemon can and give it free swiches switches via slow pivoting. Similarily Similarly, faster pivots like Tapu Koko can lure in bulky Grass-types like Ferrothorn that give Mega Charizard Y free turns (RC) while also helping wear down their shared checks, (AC) like Blissey. Due to how prolific Mega Charizard Y is as a wallbreaker, late-game cleaners like Shift Gear Magearna and Kartana make good partners for it, as Mega Charizard Y it can break through their checks like Corviknight and Ferrothorn. Hazard support from the likes of Ferrothorn, Heatran and Garchomp can help force damage onto Mega Charizard Y's checks, mainly Toxapex and Chansey letting it break through them easier. (This can be said of basically any offensive mon)

Other Options
=============

Weather Ball can be is an interesting STAB move option for its Fire-STAB, as it has slightly higher Base Power than Flamethrower while also smacking and smacks Pelipper even in rain, although it's (added apostrophe) usually not worth the opportunity cost of not having a STAB move in rain or sand. Focus Blast is an option in place of to replace Scorching Sands, notably hitting Tyranitar extremely hard (RC) while still retaining the ability to smack Heatran. However, it has terrible accuracy and also leaves Mega Charizard Y completely helpless against Toxapex without Future Sight support, so it is generally not advised. Defog is an option, (AC) as Mega Charizard Y has a good matchup against common entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Heatran, but its (removed apostrophe) extreme vulnerability to Stealth Rock along with it losing to hazard setters like Garchomp makes it unreliable at this, and it also forces it to give an unreliable Defogger. It also dislikes giving up an important moveslot (was "moveslot") for it.

Entry hazard support from the likes of Ferrothorn, Heatran, (AC) and Garchomp can helps force damage onto Mega Charizard Y's checks, mainly Toxapex, as it can 2HKO it with Scorching Sands after Stealth Rock.
