To teach my Mega Charizard Y Thunder Punch or Solar Beam ?

I was thinking about what move is better for my Mega Charizard Y , Thunder Punch or Solar Beam ?Both moves give my Charizard coverage against water types.About my Charizard:Stats:HP:241Attack:185Defense:198Special Attack:193Special Defense:153Speed:159

Nature:RelaxedAbility:BlazeItem:Charizardite Y

Moves:Fly ( better dont ask about Fly )Dragon Claw ( this is the move that I want to replace with Thunder Punch or Solar Beam)EarthquakeFlamethrower

I think I choose Solar Beam because Mega Charizard Y’s ability make Solar Beam to strike in one turn or maybe Thunder Punch is better for my Charizard, I am not a expert in Pokemon so is a little hard for me to decide.

Solar Beam is the way to go. Not is it only more powerful than Thunder Punch, but it strikes with no charge turn! Here is a set:

Charizard @ Charizardite YAbility: DroughtEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Fire Blast / Flamethrower- Solar Beam- Air Slash / Dragon Pulse / Focus Blast- Roost

I’d give it SolarBeam. Mega Charizard Y already has WAY higher Sp. Atk than Attack, and Thunder Punch is both a physical move, and is almost twice as weak as SolarBeam to begin with. Plus, it has an ability that is essentially a Sunny Day that doesn’t waste a turn. In other words, Sunny Day will hit instantly, backed up by Mega Charizard Y’s decent speed (higher than many water types anyway), allowing it to counter water type Pokemon. It can also allow it to counter the rock types that cause it so much pain due to Stealth Rock and Stone Edge, as rock types are also generally very slow and have low Sp. Def.
