Mega Charizard Y EX Deck Strategy

The Mega Charizard Y EX deck focuses on setting up Mega Charizard Y EX for the late game, while Moltres EX provides energy to your cards.

This deck comprises eight Pokemon cards. During Turn one, try to have one Moltres EX in your active spot. If not, then Charmander should be fine. However, you must preserve your Charmander for it to evolve into Mega Charizard Y EX. It can be done so using a Charmeleon or the Rare Candy cards. Magby is another great option for generating energy if you don’t like the randomness of Moltres EX.

The deck has enough drawing capacity, with May, Copycat, Poke Ball, and Professor’s Research cards. The new Charmeleon is also a great choice as it can provide a free fire energy to your active Pokemon, when you are evolving Charmander into Charmeleon. You can even use a Flame Patch card to give your active Pokemon extra Fire energy.

We have added a non-EX Charizard into our Mega Charizard Y EX deck. It is your best counter against Pom-Pom Oricorio. Oricorio prevents damage from EX cards, but a non-EX card with 70+ attack damage, in this deck, non-EX Charizard can easily KO it. You can even consider using a Torkoal, as its attack requires only 2 energy.

Mega Charizard Y EX is one of the strongest cards, as the Crimson Dive attack deals the most amount of damage in the game, one-shotting every Pokemon card. However, you need to be extra careful as you’ll take 50 recoil damage. We recommend that you use it on the opponent’s best EX and Mega EX cards to get as many points as possible. In this case, consider using a Cyrus to bring out their best card in the active spot. After using Crimson Dive, there’s a high chance that your opponent might try to snipe you with Mega Gyarados EX, or Mega Blaziken EX if they have any.
