Mega Charizard X or Y for Water Coverage?
Which would make a better poke for water coverage?
MegaZard X:
Pros:-Neutral Water Damage-Dragon resists more
Cons:-Solar Beam is 2 turns-Many Pokes have fairy moves
MegaZard Y:
Pros:
-Sun halves water damage-Solar Beam is 1 turn
Cons:
-Water still super effective-Stealth Rocks is common
So, which should I use for water coverage?

Y, you ask (yea, corny, I know)?
Pros:
Drought: No waterweaknessper se, for 5 turnsDrought: A single Sun-boosted Fire Blast can causemassivedamage, even to Water types.Drought: Single Turn Solar BeamHigh Offensive Stats: Basically like a Glass Cannon post Stealth Rock Damage, with that speed and Special Attack, Charizard Y can break through an unprepared teamResistance to Fairy type moves: [Creds to Astro, who for some reason didn’t answer :P]
Cons:
Stealth Rock: Eh, who cares, with this beast, it doesn’t matter all that much. Seriously, once this guy is in play, it’s kind of hard to get rid of him.4x Rock, 2x Electric: Both coverable by the movepool, tbh. Either way, Charizard, in this fast pace meta-game is kind of frail, anyway.
Mega Charizard Y is the stronger choice if you need move coverage against water types. It gets access to a very powerful grass move, solar beam, and basically gives a free five turns of water resistance, drought weakens the power of water type moves by 50%. Mega Charizard x does render water type attacks neutral, but doesn’t really gave a reliable way to deal with water types. Once more, megazard Y is the more preferred choice.
I’m assuming this is monotype.
Le Pros:- Sun boosts fire power and solar beam is 1 turn.- Water damage is halved.- High special defense, which water type moves are commonly special.Le Cons:- Stealth rock weakness, and not many, if any, fire type rapid spinners/ defoggers.- Even if in OU, Sun can be canceled out by other weather, like T-tar’s sandstorm.-4X rock weakness, and electric weakness.
Charizard XLe Pros:- Neutral water damage.- Thunder punch.Le Cons:- Can’t find any.
I would recommend charizard X.
