The June, July, and September season of Pokémon GO, titled Delightful Days, has entered into its final month. This season has focused on the build-up and aftermath of the global Pokémon GO Fest 2025 mega event. For the final month of Delightful Days, Five-Star Raids will feature Lugia, Ho-Oh, Necrozma, Zacian, and Zamazenta, with Shadow Raids featuring Regirock on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Ampharos, Mega Slowbro, Mega Pidgeot, and Mega Salamence. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Pidgeot, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Pidgeot Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Pidgeot counters as such:
- White Kyurem: Ice Fang, Ice Burn
- Black Kyurem: Dragon Tail, Freeze Shock
- Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Shadow Rhyperior: Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
- Regieleki: Lock-On, Thunder Cage
- Shadow Magnezone: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
- Mega Manectric: Thunder Fang, Wild Charge
- Shadow Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge
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 Pidgeot with efficiency.
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
- Therian Forme Thunduru: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
- Eternatus: Poison Jab, Dynamax Cannon
- Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Crowned Shield Zamazenta: Ice Fang, Behemoth Bash
- Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Magnezone: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
- Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
- Regigigas: Rock-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Rhyperior: Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Pidgeot 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. In rare cases where the weather conditions are correct and you have a perfect team, a solo could be possible. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. However, using a Pinap Berry would offer a great deal of additional Pidgey Candy.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
