Early Game
In the early game, since Mega Charizard Y starts as Charmander, you should prioritize safe farming for quick evolution. Use Flame Burst and Fire Spin to farm wild Pokémon and to apply lane pressure. Since both abilities apply burns, you should combo them to deal consistent damage to the enemy Pokémon.
Since your passive ability allows you to deal increased damage after taking hits, so make sure to utilize it to while poking enemies early-on. Once you evolve into Charmeleon, your burn effects and overall stats increase, letting you trade effectively while preparing for your Mega Evolution.
