Pokemon GO Mega Swampert Raid winners can encounter a Shiny Swampert. You can then proceed to Mega Evolve it into a Shiny Mega Swampert. But to get them, you must first win several Mega Swampert Raids.

Only strategically selected counters can inflict notable damage on Mega Swampert. That said, this guide details the best way to get Shiny Swampert and Shiny Mega Swampert in Pokemon GO.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Mega Swampert By Winning Mega Raids

Shiny Swampert Pokemon GO

Mega Swampert’s Pokemon GO stat spread makes up 283 ATK, 218 DEF, and 225 HP, making it an offensive pick. Its maximum Combat Power (CP) reaches a total of 4975 CP, which increases notably as a Mega Raid Boss. You should avoid solo raids and team up with at least 4 trainers to fortify the chances of winning.

You must analyze Mega Swampert’s type-weaknesses and resistances before selecting the raid counters. Look for monsters with powerful moves that fall under Mega Swampert’s type-weaknesses. It would be even more effective if the selected Mega Swampert Raid counters possessed the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential moves.
