Rogue Mega Mawile is a Level 48 opponent, so you have to be at Level 48 at a minimum to stand a chance against this Pokemon. When facing Rogue Mega Mawile, you have to be careful of its 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.
Apart from dodging these attacks, you need to lead the offensive with Camerupt. This Pokemon is both a Fire and Ground-type Pokemon, which targets the two weaknesses Rogue Mega Mawile has. You can use Charizard as backup to dish out Fire damage and eat away a chunk of Rogue Mega Mawile’s HP and beat this Pokemon.
