The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Might & Mastery, has now begun. This season continues the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles with a focus on Kubfu. For the second month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Tapu Lele, Blacephalon, Stakataka, and Cresselia with Shadow Raids featuring Registeel on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Blaziken, Mega Mawile, Mega Sceptile, and Mega Audino. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Mawile, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Mawile Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Mawile counters as such:
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Shadow Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Shadow Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
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 Mawile with efficiency.
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystical Fire
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
- Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Mawile can be defeated by two Trainers. However, 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
Mawile has a boosted Shiny rate of approximately one in 60.
