The September, October, and November seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Max Out, have now been announced. This season will focus on Galar, introducing Dynamax Pokémon and Max Battles. For the first month of Max Out, Tier Five Raids will feature Kyogre, Groudon, and Zacian, with Shadow Raids featuring Raikou on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Absol, Mega Houndoom, and Mega Gardevoir. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Gardevoir, who returns to Mega Raids soon. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Gardevoir Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Gardevoir counters as such:
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Metal Claw, Sunsteel Strike
- Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Shadow Claw, Moongeist Beam
- Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Force
- Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Mega Aggron: Iron Tail, Heavy Slam
- Shadow Excadrill: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Jirachi: Charge Beam, Doom Desire
- Melmetal: Thunder Shock, Double Iron Bash
- Gholdengo: Hex, Shadow Ball
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 take down Mega Gardevoir with efficiency.
- Origin Forme Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Excadrill: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Nihilego: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Altered Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Force
- Genesect: Metal Claw, Magnet Bomb
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Iron Head
- Aggron: Iron Tail, Heavy Slam
- Bisharp: Metal Claw, Iron Head
- Overqwil: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Gardevoir can be defeated with two 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 three 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.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
