The arrival of Mega Raids and Mega Evolutions pose a new challenge for players. We tell you how to defeat them and their best counters.
Mega Evolutions and Mega Incursions are the great novelty of Pokémon GO for this last four months of 2020. After the arrival of this beloved mechanic started back in 2013 with Pokémon X / Y as a way to take the power of creatures in their last evolutionary form. His debut in the Niantic game occurs from this date and until further notice in the new raids with four species. Let’s know all the details.
Mega Charizard X / Y, Mega Blastoise and Mega Venusaur in Pokémon GO
As we have seen this Monday in our article dedicated to all raid bosses for the month of September, the 2 and 4-star categories in Raids are eliminated; rather, integrated into the 1 and 3 stars, respectively. In Mega Raids, which are 5 stars, we have a speed bonus to grant us Mega Energy.
In principle, the Mega Evolutions will only be in Pokémon GO in September; at least with known activities and events. From September 1 to 7, the objective is focused on completing as many Mega Raids as we can to gather all the MEganergy possible and, with it, Mega Evolve our Pokémon. In this case, the first activated are Charizard (with its X and Y form), Venusaur and Blastoise. When we see them in the Raids, these are the teams we recommend.
