Since 2 team members are weak to Fire and the resists are rather frail, Heatran can be a paramount switch-in. It can also thwart things like Volcarona and frees up a Mega slot. However, that would make 3 of my team members weak to Ground. Charizard Y requires Defog support but it can shut down rain teams and hit Pelipper coming in to set rain back up with HP Electric. I don’t know which one I should choose, they both have their pros and cons.

ProsandConsHeatran:•Very nice 130 SpA•Great bulk with 91 HP and 106 Defenses•Amazing defensive typing, with 5 1/4 resistances, 4 1/2 resistances, and 2 immunities with Flash Fire•Not weak to Stealth RocksCons:•Quite bad 71 Speed•4x weak to Ground, which is a pretty common typeCharizard:•Spectacular ability in Drought, paired with a whopping 159 SpA will make you hit super hard with fire attacks•Has Solar Beam, which is spectacular coverage•Pretty good 100 SpeedCons:•4x weak to Stealth Rocks and 4x weak to Rock•Pretty bad physical defense•Even though his speed is nice, it could be better.•Uses up a mega slot

Overall, I would go withHeatran,but Mega Charizard Y is still an amazing option if you have Pokémon that can deal with Hazards.
