Mega Charizard Y was added to Pokémon UNITE on December 19th, 2025, and it is now available as a playable character!

Mega Charizard Y Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Roast your opponents, then set them up for a damaging Seismic Slam. We’ve already seen Mega Charizard X make an appearance in Pokémon UNITE, so it’s only natural that Mega Charizard Y would swoop in to battle as well. This mighty Mega-Evolved Pokémon arrives as a Melee All-Rounder that should prove quite useful to even a novice player. Of course, you begin each match as Charmander with this new Unite license, but once it evolves into Charizard and you unleash its Unite Move, it will Mega Evolve into the powerful Mega Charizard Y.
