Pokemon Go players, get ready for the return of Mega Sceptile to Mega Raids during the upcoming World of Wonders season. As the new season kicks off on March 1, 2024, trainers can look forward to engaging in new content, including exciting Mega Raids featuring Mega Sceptile.
Having made its debut in December 2022, Mega Sceptile is back in the Mega Raid pool. Trainers gearing up to take on this formidable opponent will benefit from understanding its weaknesses, moveset, and the best counters to deploy in battle.
Mega Sceptile Weaknesses
As a Grass/Dragon-type Pokemon, Mega Sceptile is vulnerable to several types, including Flying, Poison, Bug, Dragon, and Fairy. Notably, Ice-type Pokemon are particularly effective against Mega Sceptile due to its type combination, making them a strategic choice for this Raid. On the flip side, Mega Sceptile boasts resistance to Ground, Electric, Water, and Grass types, so it’s advisable to steer clear of deploying these Pokemon in battle.
Mega Sceptile Counters
Trainers can bolster their lineup with a range of powerful counters, including Kyurem, Mega Gardevoir, Shadow Mamoswine, Shadow Weavile, Baxcalibur, Avalugg, Rayquaza, Galarian Darmanitan, Mega Glalie, and Glaceon, each equipped with movesets tailored to take on Mega Sceptile.
Mega Sceptile Moveset
Mega Sceptile wields formidable moves in Pokemon Go, including fast moves like Bullet Seed and Fury Cutter, as well as charged moves such as Leaf Blade, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Aerial Ace, Breaking Swipe, and Frenzy Plant.
How to Obtain Mega Sceptile
Trainers can obtain Mega Sceptile by defeating it in the Mega Raid Battle and subsequently capturing the Sceptile. Once the regular Sceptile is in their possession, they can Mega Evolve it using 200 Mega Energy, obtainable by defeating a Mega Evolved Pokemon in a Mega Raid Battle or completing specific research tasks.
Mark your calendars as Mega Sceptile will be available in Raids starting from March 1, 2024. Prepare your team and gear up for an exhilarating battle against this imposing Pokemon.
