Mega Evolutions for Extra Charizard Candy in Pokémon GO

This is where Mega Evolutions come in, which can increase the number of Charizard candy and XL candy that you earn per catch. Enabling a level 3 Mega Evolution that increases sweet treats for Fire- or Flying-type will grant an additional 2 candies on every catch, along with a 25% increase in the XL candy chance. If you encounter a Charizard after the raid, the following Pokémon are worth considering Mega Evolve into the following to maximize your gains in candy: 

• Mega Pidgeot 
• Mega Pinsir
• Mega Aerodactyl
• Mega Houndoom
• Mega Blaziken
• Mega Salamence

How to Beat Mega Y Charizard

Along with the double weakness, Mega Y Charizard is weak to the Rock type. You can defeat the raid quite easily using two high-level trainers with good teams. For lower-level trainers, you should have a group of at least four.

Keep in mind that the speed at which you can complete a Mega Raid, the more Mega Energy will be rewarded, so more trainers can be beneficial.

 Charizard is popular enough; having a 100% IV Charizard is a great addition to your. Look out for these CP values to identify a perfect IV Charizard:

• 1651 CP (normal conditions)
• 2064 CP weather-boosted

These weather boosts will help you conserve as much candy as possible, achieve better IVs, and give your team the boosts in power that are necessary. To increase the odds of running into a higher CP Charizard, and to boost your counters, these raids should be taken on during Sunny or Windy weather. Both kinds of weather from this duo will boost Mega Y Charizard with an extra advantage added to your raid efforts served by boosting your Rock-type counters.
