Welcome, Trainers!
Mega Absol has been largely absent from our raid rotations. The last time we saw it in Mega Raids was back in 2021! Luckily for us, Mega Absol is finally making its return and will be available in Mega Raids fromFebruary 15, 2024, at 10:00 am local time until June 10, 2025, at 10:00 am local time.
You can catch Mega Absol at the followingCP ranges:
Mega Absol will be available in both shiny and regular variations. Here is what it looks like:
Being aDark-type,Mega Absol has vulnerabilities to the following types:Fighting, Bug, and Fairy. It is recommended to pick Pokemon who are this type and know movesets of these types in order to damage Mega Absol quickly and be on your way!
Due to its typing, Mega Absol isweatherboosted byFoggyweather conditions. If you encounter it during these weather conditions, it will be level 25. However, its effective strength will not be much different - he’s just a 3-star raid, so don’t be too afraid.
Since it is not that powerful, you will not need too many people to go and fight this Pokémon. If you and your friends have good, high-level counters, you can go in with as few as3 Trainersand easily knock out these raids. If you do not have good counters and your friends aren’t high-level, you should consider bringing a minimum of5 Trainers. If you have more friends to bring along, you should.
Make sure that you party up to get that sweet Party Play damage bonus to make these raids go by all the quicker! The faster you take Mega Absol down, the more catches you can get in!
Recommended Teams
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
You can take some liberties with your team compositions. Mega Raids aren’t immensely difficult, so if you do not have all the Pokémon on these lists, never fear. You will likely be able to clear without these Pokémon.
