Pokemon GO Mega Gyarados Raid Guide: Weakness & Counters
May. 10, 2024Mega Gyarados Strengths
Remember a few important points if you are a new player fighting this Pokemon for the first time. Mega Gyarados is aWater/Dark-type Pokemon, which means it comes with certain strong traits. This Pokemon’s strengths include being strong againstfire,ground, androck.To even join the fight, avoid using any of the above element-type Pokemon.
However, like strengths, Mega Gyarados also comes with a set of weaknesses in Pokemon GO. If you useelectric,Grass,fighting,bug, orfairy-typemonsters, you’ll be a formidable opponent against this creature.
Since this Pokemon has two types of elements, it will take damage if any of the mentioned Pokemon joins the battle. So, bringing Pokemon likeBulbasaur, Lucario, Jigglypuff, etcwill be extremely helpful against Mega Gyarados.
Since we know what damages this Pokemon, let’s look at some of the preferable Pokemon you should bring to the mega raid. The best Mega Gyarados counters are:
I suggest bringing over either aGradevoir, Sceptile, or Heracross. These three are extremely strong against the Pokemon in question. Otherwise, bring yourself any of the Pokemon mentioned above.
Thankfully, it’s easy to add Mega Gyarados to your team. After you join a Mega Raid with your friends, battle the Pokemon. I highly suggest taking multiple pals along since going against this monster solo is a death sentence.
After defeating the Mega Gyarados, two things will happen. If you never had a Gyarados in your Pokedex, you’ll receive a bonus encounter. You can now capture one and add it to your Pokedex. With the Gyarados in your team, you’ll receive Mega Energy. Once you have300 Mega Energy, you can evolve your Gyarados to a Mega Gyarados.

This month, shiny Mega Gyarados are available in the rotation as part of the Mega Raids. The spawn rate is low, and adding them to your party is even tougher than one might expect. However, they will spawn with better rates during the Mega Raid event.
Mega Gyarados is the ultimate form of the Pokemon. As such, it has no further evolution.
