The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled World of Wonders, continues. With the new slate of Raids announced for May, we now know how this season will close out. We will see Tapu Fini and Regirock return to Tier Five Raids, followed by the release of Ultra Beasts Blacephalon and Stakataka through Ultra Wormholes. In addition to that, we will see some older Megs return while Shadow Suicune gets its chance to shine in Shadow Raids during the weekend. Today’s raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Alakazam, who will have a stint as the Mega Raid Boss. Let’s get into it.
Top Mega Alakazam Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Alakazam counters as such:
- Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
- Mega Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play
- Hydreigon: Bite, Dark Brutal Swing
- Mega Gyarados: Bite, Crunch
- Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Mega Pinsir: Fury Cutter, X-Scissor
- Mega Absol: Snarl, Dark Pulse
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Mega Alakazam with efficiency.
- Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Volcarona: Bug Bite, Bug Buzz
- Yveltal: Snarl, Dark Pulse
- Darkrai: Snarl, Dark Pulse
- Hoopa Unbound: Astonish, Dark Pulse
- Gholdengo: Hex, Shadow Ball
- Inceneroar: Snarl, Darkest Lariat
- Zarude: Bite, Dark Pulse
- Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
- Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Alakazam can be defeated by two trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. Successfully using a Pinap Berry or Silver Pinap to catch Alakazam, though, will earn extra Abra Candy.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
