Mega Gallade Raid Guide: Best Counters and Weaknesses in Pokemon GO

Mega Gallade in Pokemon GO Mega Raids should be countered with Flying-, Ghost-, and Fairy-type (doing 1.6x damage). On the other hand, the Psychic- and Flying-type mega-evolved Blade Pokemon can be a significant force in a player’s party, provided they have caught it. Additionally, we suggest the trainer use the  Pokemon GO Search String type&@type&cp2000- (substitute “type” with any of the three aforementioned) to check the best counters they already have in their storage.

Mega Gallade appears with 50635 CP as Mega Raid Boss. Once caught, Gallade will have a maximum of 1767 CP or 2209 CP (windy and cloudy weather boosted). Mega Gallade debuted in Pokemon GO with the Mega Gallade Raid Day event (January 11, 2025). We suggest a party of 3 to 5 trainers to take on the mega raid boss.

For those who wish to take it on alone, check out how to solo defeat Mega Gallade in Pokemon GO Mega Raids.
