Rogue Mega Ampharos is a Level 48 boss, so you also have to be at Level 48 at a minimum before you step up to the challenge. Rogue Mega Ampharos uses the following attacks:
- Breaking Swipe: The boss will run up to you and try to swipe away at you. You can take a step back to avoid this.
- Dragon Pulse: The boss will launch a beam at you. This beam is slow, and you can easily side-step it.
- AOE Electric Attacks: The boss will rush to the center of the arena and charge up, all while summoning lightning and an electric force field. Try to run as far as you can to avoid this.
The boss uses a ton of AOE and melee attacks, so it is wise to pick your fight from a distance. Going too far prompts the boss to use his Dragon Pulse, which is incredibly easy to dodge. You have to constantly stay on the move and fall back whenever the boss uses the electric AOEs. Exploit the boss’s weakness with Gardevoir and Abomasnow to win this fight.
