All about Mega Houndoom, available in the Mega Raids of Pokémon GO
The first thing to note is that Mega Houndoom has begun to be seen in the Mega Raids this September 29 at 22:00 (CEST). We do not know when it will stop appearing or if its arrival is permanent, but we recommend collecting Megaenergy if you want to use it in the GO Fighting League because we have already warned that it is a very interesting creature because of its impressive attack statistics as for its combination of types, a guarantee if we use a good strategy when presenting many resistances.
Mega Houndoom maintains Fire and Sinister types and has 53,826 CP in the raid engagement (it can come out shiny in face-to-face combat, although as always the chances are remote). With an attack of 289, it ranks it as one of the best offensive options of its respective elemental types. In addition, he has a good balance of defense (194) and resistance (181). To unlock his Mega Evolution you need 200 Mega Energy points; once we want to use it again after the hours of active stay we must use another 40 Megaenergy points.
What can it wear to us in combat? Watch out for one of his charged attacks, but the default move combination isn’t too complex; With four or five level 40 companions we should have no problem defeating him within the allotted time.
In the fast attacks he has Fiery Fang and Scream, while in the charged ones he has Flamethrower, Shred, Foul Play and, above all, Flare, a true fiery beast with 140 power. With that said, let’s move on to the best opponents to beat Mega Houndoom in Pokémon GO Mega Raids.
