Mega Charizard Y Best Nature and Moveset for Story

Adamant or Jolly

Nature Stat Changes
Adamant ↑ Attack, ↓ SpAtk
Jolly ↑ Speed, ↓ SpAtk

Since Mega Charizard Y is a Fast Physical Attacker, its best Nature is either Adamant or Jolly to boost its Attack or Speed further, while reducing its Special Attack stat.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Lonely ↑ Attack, ↓ Defense
Naughty ↑ Attack, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Mega Charizard Y either Lonely or Naughty nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Mega Charizard Y any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Mega Charizard Y has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.

Charizard Y is a special attacker… his base sp atk stat is 159, which is way higher than his phys atk stat at 104

Recommended nature is wrong. It's a Fast Special Attacker not Physical. You want Modest or Timid.
