We have now entered a new season in Pokémon GO, titled World of Wonders. March kicks this season off with a wave of content including the Island Guardians of Alola in Tier Five Raids and Shadow Raikou in Shadow Raids during the weekend. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Venusaur, who is back in Mega Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Venusaur Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Venusaur counters as such:
- Mega Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
- Shadow Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
- Mega Latios: Zen Headbutt, Psychic
- Shadow Moltres: Fire Spin, Sky Attack
- Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
- Mega Alakazam: Confusion, Psychic
- Apex Shadow Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
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 Venusaur with efficiency.
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Yveltal: Gust, Oblivion Wing
- Hoopa Unbound: Confusion, Psychic
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
- Lunala: Confusion, Psychic
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Sky Attack
- Apex Purified Lugia: Extrasensory, Aeroblast++
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Venusaur can be defeated by 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.
