Mega Evolution vs Switching Out Order
If I mega evolve Charizard to Mega Charizard Y the same turn my opponent recalls his Pokemon and sends out Tyranitar with Sandstream, whose weather effect will end up persisting? Will the Sandstorm, or the Sun be the final weather condition that stays?
Best Answer
Switching always happens first so the sun from Drought will replace the sand.

Do Pokémon stay Mega Evolved when switched out?
Once a Pokemon has Mega Evolved, it stays in that form until the battle ends. Switching to another Pokemon does not revert its form. After battle, the Mega-Evolved Pokemon will revert to their original forms.Does Mega Evolution take priority?
Mega Evolution can be used on the same turn as a normal attack, and always has priority before anything else.Is there a downside to mega evolving?
When Mega Evolving, Gengar changes its Ability to Shadow Tag, making it impossible for the other Pokemon to switch out (bar switching moves like Volt Switch). But this also means that it regains its weakness to Ground. As such, the biggest con of Mega Evolving Gengar is the loss of Levitate.Should I power up a Pokémon before mega evolving?
Mega-Evolved Pok\xe9mon can't be powered up while Mega-Evolved. Their boosted stats are calculated based on their stats in their normal form, so make sure you've powered up Pok\xe9mon you want to Mega Evolve as much as possible before Mega Evolving them.
