- Top Mega Slowbro counters include Dawn Wings Necrozma, Mega Gengar, and powerful Grass or Electric-types.

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 Slowbro, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Slowbro Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Slowbro counters as such:
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Shadow Claw, Moongeist Beam
- Mega Gengar: Lick, Shadow Ball
- Mega Sceptile: Fury Cutter, Frenzy Plant
- Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Mega Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Shadow Absol: Snarl, Brutal Swing
- Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
- Shadow Regigigas: Grass-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
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 Slowbro with efficiency.
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
- Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
- Regieleki: Lock-On, Thunder Cage
- Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
- Black Kyurem: Shadow Claw, Fusion Bolt
- Sky Forme Shaymin: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot
- Darkrai: Snarl, Shadow Ball
- Lunala: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Slowbro 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 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 get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
