Scores are estimates from an approximate model (boss attack during the Shield Phase is assumed to be roughly ×1.50 of normal; game constants are not officially published). Real-world values may differ; we will re-evaluate once official data is released.
Fast Move is auto-selected to charge the recommended Low-Energy Charged Move in the shortest time (it may be slightly less efficient when paired with the High-DPS Charged Move, since the energy bar counts differ).
Use the chart above (JavaScript required) to switch sort axes, apply the XL Candy Bonus filter, and jump to rank N+.

🏆 Recommended Counters Ranking (Top 20)

Ranked by DPS vs Boss. Click the "DPS" or "TDO" column header in each table to re-sort. Consider both DPS and TDO (cumulative damage = DPS × Time To Faint) for a balanced view. The DPS Rank / TDO Rank columns are fixed annotations showing original rank in the source data even after sorting.

Mega Raichu X — ⚡ Top 2 aura-matched Megas

Megas whose aura type overlaps with this boss's type. Top pick: Mega Manectric.

Mega-Evolution raid bonuses:
Damage: while a Mega is on the field, all allies get +10% damage (regardless of type). Moves whose type matches the Mega's type are upgraded to +30% instead.
Catch candy bonus: while you have a Mega evolved, every Pokémon caught gives +1 candy at Base Mega level, or +2 candies at High / Max Mega level (regardless of type).
Candy XL chance: only triggers when your Mega is at High level or above AND you catch a Pokémon that shares a type with the Mega (type-matched only).
⚡-badged Megas trigger the same-type +30% damage bonus / XL Candy chance against this boss.
Primal Kyogre (Water/Electric/Bug), Primal Groudon (Fire/Ground/Grass) and Mega Rayquaza (Dragon/Flying/Psychic) emit a 3-type aura instead of the standard own-types only.

Super Mega Raid is special: the boss deploys shields that can only be broken with Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Boss HP and time-to-kill are not standard, so they are hidden. Use the DPS rankings on this page as a reference only.
* This page is a Pre-Release Prediction; base stats, types, and moves are not yet confirmed and may change once the boss is officially released.
