LAMY's comment

  • The first Mega Raid since Dragonite, Victreebel, and Malamar!
  • Could be a handy Fighting-type attacker for new trainers?
  • Make the most of those 6 free passes!

동자개's comment

  • 267/229/163/4149. Low stat distribution and a weak charged move (Superpower).
  • Overall performance sits slightly below the 4th-tier line of Mega Gallade and Mega Lopunny — useful only for Pokédex registration.
  • It has a signature move in the main series, but even if implemented, its competitors are Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Lucario Z, so any future rise is virtually impossible.

Tips

Mega Falinks is weak to Fairy, Flying, and Psychic types. Mega Gardevoir, Mega Pidgeot, and Mega Alakazam are top counters.

Super Mega Raids require many trainers — exchange Trainer Codes and gather your local community ahead of time.

The Remote Raid Pass cap is temporarily raised to 20. Stock up on Friday evening to go full throttle on raid day.

The optional $4.99 ticket grants 8 additional free Raid Passes, for a total of up to 14.

Complete the Timed Research to encounter Mawile (Steel/Fairy) — also a useful counter against Mega Falinks.
