The September, October, and November seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Max Out, are now wrapping up. This season has focused on Galar, introducing Dynamax Pokémon and Max Battles. For the final month of Max Out, Tier Five Raids will feature Lugia, Origin Forme Dialga, Origin Forme Palkia, Zacian, Zamazenta, Regieleki, and Regidrago with Shadow Raids featuring Suicune on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Manectric, Mega Salamence, Mega Beedrill, Mega Ampharos, and Mega Altaria. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Altaria, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Altaria Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Altaria counters as such:
- Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Mega Gardevoir: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
- Mega Gengar: Lick, Sludge Bomb
- Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Shadow Excadrill: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Mega Beedrill: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Dazzling Gleam
- Shadow Mamoswine: Powder Snow, Avalanche
- Nihilego: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Gengar: Lick, Sludge Bomb
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 Altaria.
- Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Kyuren: Steel Wing, Glaciate
- Zacian: Metal Claw, Play Rough
- Mamowsine: Powder Snow, Avalanche
- Xerneas: Geomancy, Moonblast
- Galarian Darmanitan: Ice Fang, Avalanche
- Baxcalibur: Ice Fang, Avalanche
- Genesect: Metal Claw, Magnet Bomb
- Excadrill: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Melmetal: Thunder Shock, Double Iron Bash
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Altaria can be defeated with three 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 four 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. If you are able to successfully catch with a Pinap Berry, though, you will earn additional Swablu Candy.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20.
