    Mega Scizor

Mega Scizor is a Bug and Steel type Mega Raid boss. Due to its 2x weakness to the Fire type, the best counters for Mega Scizor are strong Fire type counters.

It is possible to solo Mega Scizor in Sunny weather, particularly with the use of Mega evolved Fire type Pokémon, and Shadow Pokémon, but only for the high level, well prepared trainer. In all other cases, around 2-5 trainers with strong and high-level Fire type Pokémon can take down Mega Scizor with relative ease, no matter what the weather in the game is like.

This write-up will serve as a comprehensive guide to successfully beating Mega Scizor in the raid.

Mega Scizor Raid Counters

The best counters for Mega Scizor are the following:

How to get Mega Scizor

You cannot catch Scizor in its mega-evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Scizor.

Scizor can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 1636 – 1714 CP at level 20, no weather boost
  • 2046 – 2143 CP at level 25 with Rainy or Snow weather boost

To get Mega Scizor you will need to gather 200 Mega Energy for Mega Scizor to evolve your Scizor. Once you have evolved a Scizor you can use 40 Mega Energy to evolve it again, or you can wait for the cooldown period to end for a free Mega Evolution. There are different levels for Mega Pokemon, and the higher the level, the quicker the cooldown. Each new Mega Scizor you evolve will cost 200 Mega Energy.

How to Get Mega Aggron

You cannot catch Aggron in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Aggron. Aggron can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 1636 – 1714 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 2045 – 2143 CP at Level 25, boosted by Snow weather boost

In order to get Mega Aggron, you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Aggron again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher the Mega level your Mega Pokémon is.

Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Aggron Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Aggron, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Aron, Lairon, or Aggron to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
