Unleash the Power: Your Ultimate Guide to Defeating Mega Swampert in Pokemon Go!

Mega Swampert is among the best Mega Evolutions in Pokemon Go because of its excellent type mix and attributes. So, figure out how to effortlessly defeat it now that it’s returning to Mega Raids.

This version maintains the meaning and readability while offering a slightly different phrasing for variety.

In the world of Pokémon, Mega Evolutions rank among the most potent creatures, joined by Primal, Origin formes, and fusions. However, these powerful transformations can’t be utilized in the Battle League unless a special Mega Edition is being played. Instead, they are highly recommended for use in Raid Battles.

In Niantic’s mobile game, the powerful Swampert Mega form ranks among the top ten Mega Evolutions. Given its return during the Might and Mastery season, it might be wise for players to aim for a Mega Swampert with optimal Individual Values (IVs) or perhaps even a Shiny one!

Mega Swampert weaknesses in Pokemon Go

In its Mega form, Swampert primarily resists both Water and Ground-based attacks. Yet, it has a unique vulnerability – it’s only vulnerable to Grass-type attacks. However, this weakness is amplified as it’s doubly susceptible in this specific type, so take advantage of that when battling.

Despite a seemingly narrow selection, you’ll find numerous powerful Grass-type combatants in this game capable of holding their ground against such an imposing beast.

Remember to consider Mega Swampert’s resistances, particularly against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel-type attacks. This means you have a wide range of attack types to choose from that will not be easily effective against it.

Mega Swampert best counters

Here are some of the best counters to use against Mega Swampert in Pokemon Go:

As a fellow Pokémon trainer, I’ve got you covered with a diverse roster! You’ll find Megas, Legendaries, Shadows, and run-of-the-mill Pokémon all lined up in the table above. No matter your playstyle or preference, there’s a perfect partner for every battle ahead!

In case you lack those specific counters or alternatives, deploy your most powerful Grass-type Pokémon to exploit Mega Swampert’s vulnerabilities. However, ensure that your squad is well-prepared, with each member at the appropriate level and equipped with compatible movesets.

How to get Mega Swampert in Pokemon Go

Beginning on March 13, 2025, and continuing through March 22, 2025, the formidable Mega Swampert will make a comeback in Pokemon Go’s Mega Raids. This appearance follows closely after Mega Lucario’s tenure has come to an end.

Remember, you can battle against the powerful Mega Swampert in 5-Star Mega Raids, but please note that you cannot capture it in its Mega-Evolved state.

After overcoming it, instead, you’ll have an opportunity to capture a common Swampert with the Premiere Balls provided – the number of balls you receive will depend on your skill in the battle.

In order to momentarily supercharge your most powerful standard Swampert with Mega Evolution, you’ll initially have to accumulate Mega Energy, which is earned as a prize upon overcoming this formidable foe.

How to evolve Swampert into Mega Swampert

Previously noted, once a trainer manages to overcome and capture a Mega Evolved Pokémon, it transforms back into its standard form. In other words, each time the trainer aims to initiate a Mega Evolution, they will need to employ Mega Energy.

For the initial transformation of a player’s Swampert into Mega Swampert, it necessitates the expenditure of 200 Mega Energy. Following this instance, the energy requirement decreases in stages: first to 40, then to 20, and ultimately to 10.

Mega Energy

Players can accumulate Mega Energy of this specific kind by repeatedly defeating Mega Swampert in Mega Raids. Moreover, they can acquire extra amounts through completing Field Research tasks and by making Swampert their buddy and walking with it.

As a devoted fan, I’d like to highlight an interesting fact: For Swampert to gather Mega Energy during its strolls, it must have undergone Mega Evolution at least once in its journey.

Can Mega Swampert be Shiny?

Indeed, it’s possible for a Mega Swampert in Pokemon Go to be Shiny. This unique version of the character was introduced simultaneously with Mega Evolution on its initial release date.

As a gamer, I can easily spot a Shiny Mega Swampert due to its vibrant fuchsia body and striking purple accents – quite a departure from the usual light blue and black color scheme it normally sports.

Remember, there’s no specific way to induce a Shiny encounter; instead, try battling against numerous Mega Swampert until you discover the one that suits your needs.

In case you cannot find one, you can simply Mega Evolve a regular Shiny Swampert.
