How to Get Mega Charizard Y

You cannot catch Charizard Y in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Charizard.

You cannot catch Mega Charizard Y in its Mega form. After the raid, you’ll encounter a regular Charizard, and the following CP values apply to the base form:

• 1651 CP (No weather boost, level 20, 100% IV)
• 2064 CP ( Sunny and Windy weather, level 25, 100% IV)

To get Mega Charizard Y, you need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution. Once you Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time, you no longer need Mega Energy for that Pokémon to Mega Evolve again. Instead, the Pokémon will become exhausted after its Mega Evolution and need to rest before being Mega Evolved again. In other words, there is now a cooldown period after you Mega Evolve a Pokémon. You can level up your Mega Pokémon in order to decrease this cooldown period. You can use more energy to end the cooldown period early.
