Pokemon GO Mega Alakazam raids offer an excellent opportunity to get Shiny Alakazam and Shiny Mega Alakazam. While that is the case, trainers must win the mega raid consecutively to boost the chances of a Shiny encounter. But repeatedly defeating the Mega raid boss requires intense grinding.

Those who want to get a Shiny Mega Alakazam must first get their hands on a Shiny Alakazam. A Shiny Alakazam may spawn near the Pokemon GO raid location once players win the Mega Alakazam raid. But, one must win multiple Mega Alakazam raids to increase their chances of a Shiny encounter. Doing so requires proper meta-knowledge and well-planned counters against the Mega raid boss. That said, this guide details the best method to catch a Shiny Alakazam and Shiny Mega Alakazam.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Alakazam And Shiny Mega Alakazam Through Mega Raids

Shiny Alakazam and Shiny Mega Alakazam in Pokemon GO raids

Mega Pokemon are among some of the most powerful beings in the franchise, but their true terror comes when they become raid bosses. Regarding Mega Alakazam, its maximum Pokemon GO Combat Power (CP) of 5099 increases notably when it comes as a Mega raid boss. The monster possesses a stat spread of 367 ATK, 207 DEF, and 146 STA, making it a top-notch attacker.

Pokemon GO trainers who defeat the Mega Alakazam raid can potentially encounter a Shiny Alakazam. The Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, but winning raids repeatedly might help catch up to Alakazam’s Shiny odds. Those who encounter and catch a Shiny Alakazam can later proceed to get a Shiny Mega Alakazam.

One should avoid attempting the Mega raid solo and team up with others to bag a win against such a powerhouse. It requires proper meta-knowledge and powerful counters to win the Mega raid repeatedly. The best way to select counters is by analyzing Mega Alakazam’s weaknesses and resistance. These raid counters should also possess the Pokemon GO Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential moves aligned to Mega Alakazam’s weaknesses.
