Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Mega Gyarados Through Mega Raids

The dual Water and Dark-type Pokemon, Mega Gyarados, possesses a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 5332, which increases even more as a Mega Raid boss. The monster has a stat spread of 292 ATK, 247 DEF, and 216 STA, making it an amazing attacker with impressive defensive capabilities. One should band together with other players and avoid attempting the Mega Raid solo.

Players must study Mega Gyarados meta weaknesses and resistances to select proper raid counters. Select counters that have move types that align with the monster’s weaknesses and avoid the ones it can resist. Make sure that the counters also possess the Pokemon GO Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential moves.

Pokemon GO trainers who win the Mega Gyarados raids have the possibility of encountering a Shiny Gyarados. The shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, and players might just encounter a Regular variant instead. One must win numerous Mega Gyarados raids and spawn several Gyarados; doing so might aid in matching its Shiny odds.
