The incredibly busy Halloween season is finally over in Pokemon GO and trainers can return to a bit of normal before the chaos begins once again in a few weeks with the start of a long holiday season. Fall and winter and very exciting times in the mobile AR game and the excitement is starting early this month with a fresh Battle Raid rotation.
Starting in just a few days,, that list of Pokemon GO Battle Raid bosses will have a slight rotation and introduce Mega Manectric to the list once again. Players who manage to encounter and defeat Mega Manectric will once again be able to stock up some of the Mega Candy and prepare the Pokemon for a temporary Mega Evolution whenever they need one.
The upcoming Mega Battle Raid will be available from Friday, November 5, 2021 at 10:00am local time to November 16, 2021, so players still have a bit of time to get ready. Mega Manectric is a pure Electric-type, which means that knowing which counters are best shouldn’t be much of a challenge at all. Trainers are going to simply need to bring their best Ground-type Pokemon to the battle. For the best counter roster possible, try to form a team of six from these recommended Pokemon and appropriate move sets...
Best Mega Manectric Counters
- Garchomp - Mud Shot/Earthquake
- Groudon - Mud Shot/Earthquake
- Excadrill - Mud Slap/Drill Run
- Rhyperior - Mud Slap/Earthquake
- Landorus (Incarnate) - Mud Shot/Earth Power
- Krookodile - Mud Slap/Earthquake
- Golurk - Mud Slap/Earth Power
- Mamoswine - Mud Slap/Bulldoze
- Gengar (Mega) - Shadow Claw/Shadow Ball
- Donphan - Mud Slap/Earthquake
- Golem - Mud Slap/Earthquake
As always, players should keep in mind that they need to enter the battle with enough friends (at least three or four mid- to high-level players) and to focus on using Pokemon that take advantage of the boss’ weaknesses. This would be an appropriate time to burn through some Stardust, Rare Candy, and TMs on the right Ground-type Pokemon in order to properly prepare for the big fight.
In the coming weeks, we should learn more about what other events will be arriving during the closing days of the Season of Mischief. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
