Take on Mega Gardevoir in Pokémon GO.
Mega Gardevoir is back in Pokémon GO Mega Raids until October 3. This is an absolute must grab for your Raid team so do not miss these Raids. Mega Gardevoir is a very unique Mega Pokémon because it is a top Raid Attacker in two very useful categories, Fairy and Psychic.
In addition, Ralts is a Pokémon that spawns often. That means you can easily access good IV Gardevoir's and build multiple for each typing. You can have some with Fairy-type moves, and some with Psychic-type moves so you have full coverage for any Raids.
So, here's everything you need to know to take on Mega Gardevoir in Pokémon GO.
Best Mega Gardevoir counters in Pokémon GO:
Mega Gardevoir has a weakness to Ghost, Poison and Steel-type moves. It has a double resistance to Dragon and Fighting-type attacks, and a further resistance to Psychic-type moves.
Here are the best Mega Gardevoir counters in Pokémon GO:
 Dusk Mane Necrozma Metal Claw & Sunsteel Strike |  Dawn Wings Necrozma Shadow Claw & Moongeist Beam |  Mega Gengar Shadow Claw & Shadow Ball |  Mega Banette Shadow Claw & Shadow Ball |  Origin Forme Giratina Shadow Claw & Shadow Force |  Mega Rayquaza Air Slash & Dragon Ascent |  Dialga Metal Claw & Iron Head |  Origin Forme Dialga Metal Claw & Iron Head |  Blacephalon Astonish & Shadow Ball |  Gengar Shadow Claw & Shadow Ball |  Metagross Bullet Punch & Meteor Mash |  Excadrill Metal Claw & Iron Head |
A lot of these counters are the same as you will need to take on Zacian in Pokémon GO, the other Raid Boss in rotation right now. That means that once again if you played Pokémon GO Fest 2024, you will be well set for this Raid.
Both Dawn Wings Necrozma and Dusk Mane Necrozma are fantastic Mega Gardevoir counters. Even better is these Pokémon are incredibly strong, but aren't Mega Pokémon. That means you can team them up with a powerful Mega Pokémon like Mega Gengar. Both Dialga's are also good counters, these were last avaliable during Sinnoh Tour in February.
Again like with Zacian, both Excadrill and Metagross are also good Mega Gardevoir counters. These Pokémon are readily avaliable, and Beldum just had a Pokémon GO Community Day. Use your Meteor Mash Metagross in this Raid.

Yes, Gardevoir can be shiny after your Mega Gardevoir Raid.
