Mega Audino Pokémon GO Raid Guide: hundo CP, weakness & counters

Mega Audino is finally debuting in Pokémon GO with a special Raid Day taking place on April 5. This will be in the form of a special Raid Day. Mega Audino will be taking over every gym for a three hour period.

This is a great Pokémon to get your hands on in Pokémon GO for a few reasons - sadly none of them are because it is powerful in game. As a Raid Attacker. Mega Audino is not useful at all.

However, Audino is a heavily Stardust boosted Pokémon. Catching Audino awards a massive 2100 Stardust base. In addition, at mega Level 3 it boosts both Fairy and Normal-type Pokémon, which is a unique typing and therefore very helpful for certain events.

That makes this a must-do event in Pokémon GO, so here is everything you need to know to take on Mega Audino in Pokémon GO.

Mega Audino has a weakness to Poison and Steel-type attacks. Then it has resistances to Bug and Dark-type attacks, with further resistances to Dragon and Ghost-types.

Here are the best Pokémon to counter Mega Audino in Pokémon GO:

With just two weaknesses, Mega Audino dosen't have that many good counters in the game. However, we are in luck, one of the very best Pokémon in the entire game is a top counter for this Raid.

Step forward, Dawn Wings Necrozma. This is a must use Pokémon for this Raid if you have it. And, because it is not a Mega Pokémon, you can have multiple of these on your team if you have them.

Besides that, both forms of Dialga are also great choices. However, they will need Iron Head. That means if your Origin Forme Dialga has Roar of Time, you'll need a second move as this cannot be re-learned.

Finally, for budget options, consider Excadrill. With its power in Dynamax and Gigantamax Battles over the last few months most Trainers will have a good Excadrill now.

Yes, the Audino you encounter after this Mega Raid can be shiny in Pokémon GO.

Mega Evolutions can help you get more candy and XL candy with every catch. Having a mega level 3 active that boosts candy for Normal-types will give you an extra 2 candy per catch, as well as a 25% bonus to your XL candy chance.

Here are the Pokémon you can use to get more Audino candy in Pokémon GO:

Mega Audino isn't too challenging in Pokémon GO, and three Trainers with good counters should be able to beat this Raid. For lower level Trainers, aim for a group of at least Six Trainers to play it safe.

Remember the faster you complete a Mega Raid in Pokémon GO, the more Mega Energy you get.
