Mega Abomasnow Raid Guide for Pokémon GO: Dual Destiny Season

Assemble the following team of Fire-types and to take down Mega Abomasnow in Pokémon GO, which can be done as a solo player.

The December, January, and February seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Dual Destiny, have now begun. This season continues the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles while also gearing up for the global Pokémon GO Tour: Unvoa event. For the first month of Dual Destiny, Tier Five Raids will feature Chill Drive Genesect, Mega Latios, Mega Latias, and Altered Forme Giratina, with Shadow Raids featuring Regice on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Banette and Mega Abomasnow. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Abomasnow, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let's get into it.

Top Mega Abomasnow Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Abomasnow counters as such:

• Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Shadow Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
• Shadow Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
• Shadow Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
• Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
• Mega Charizard X: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Shadow Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
• Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystical Fire

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help efficiently take down Mega Abomasnow.

• Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
• Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
• Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
• Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
• Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
• Emboar: Ember, Blast Burn
• Dusk Mane Necroxma: Metal Claw, Sunsteel Strike
• Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
• Incineroar: Fire Fang, Blast Burn

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Mega Abomasnow can be defeated by solo trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. Using a Pinap Berry, though, will earn you extra Candy.

Shiny Odds & 100% IVs

The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
