Starting Location

You’re assigned the task to find Rogue Mega Mawile in a meeting with Lida in Hotel Z. Lida will ask you to look into the Rogue Mega Mawile in Sector 6 of the Magenta District, so that’s where you need to go. Exit Hotel Z and fast-travel to Cafe Gallant in the Magenta District. After you spawn, head west and take the first Holovator you see. You’ll then have to parkour across roofs to get to your destination.

Rogue Mega Mawile Boss Fight

Rogue Mega Mawile is weak to the following:
- Ground
- Fire
To capitalize on the boss’s weaknesses, we’ll be using the following Pokemon:
- Camerupt
- Charizard
Once the fight begins, you have to watch out for the following attacks:
- Play Rough: This is the attack Rogue Mega Mawile uses the most. In this attack, Rogue Mega Mawile teleports to punch you up close. This attack happens quickly, so you have to constantly stay on the move to avoid it.
- Iron Head: This is a similar melee attack, but without the teleport gimmick. Staying on the move will help you stay clear of damage.
- Orb Attack: Rogue Mega Mawile will head outside the battle arena, charge up, and launch tons of orbs into the battlefield. This is a straight-up bombardment, and it is difficult to gauge where the orbs will land. Your best bet is to pull your Pokemon back to keep them safe from the onslaught.
