Expert Strategies for Conquering Mega Garchomp in Pokémon GO Raids

The formidable Mega Garchomp, a Dragon- and Ground-type Pokémon found in the Sinnoh region, is diving into Pokémon GO raids for the first time. Detailed Pokédex entries suggest the immense energy of Mega Garchomp has reshaped its limbs into colossal scythes. Discover which Pokémon can give you an edge in Raid Battles, the tactics for capturing Garchomp following a successful raid, and tips for utilizing this mighty Pokémon to its fullest potential.

Targeting Mega Garchomp's vulnerabilities is key, as it has a heightened weakness to Ice-type attacks, alongside standard weaknesses to Dragon- and Fairy-types. Leveraging an Ice-type Pokémon's attacks should be your top strategic priority when facing off against it in raids.

When assembling your team of six for the Mega Garchomp Raid Battle, prioritize Pokémon with matching Fast Attack and Charged Attack types—Dragon, Fairy, or Ice—to maximize damage via the same-type attack bonus, which grants a 20% increase in power.

To enhance your chances of capturing Garchomp after a raid, take advantage of Premier Balls, aim for Excellent Throws, and use Curveballs. Opt for Nice or Great Throws if you're less confident in landing the best throws to avoid losing a valuable catch opportunity. Patience and timing during Garchomp's movement cycles are essential.

Utilize Berries to increase your catch success; Razz Berries make Garchomp easier to catch, Golden Razz Berries improve the odds drastically, Nanab Berries minimize Garchomp's erratic movements, and Silver Pinap Berries provide the added benefit of extra Candy.

Buddy Pokémon at Great Buddy level or above may offer a Catch Assist feature, possibly saving a Premier Ball if Garchomp attempts to deflect. If Garchomp escapes, regroup with essential items such as Max Potions and Golden Razz Berries and try your luck again.
