Pokémon GO Shadow Kyogre Raid: Best Counters & DPS Ranking

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

⚡ 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.
