along with Pokémon Go’s quit! During the event, players around the world can challenge Mega Scizor in Mega Raids at local gyms from now until August 16th.First appeared in the second generation game Pokémon Gold and Silver, the Scythe is one of the final forms in the Scythe evolution line, and is part of select Pokémon species capable of Mega Evolution.with many upcoming Pokémon Go However, the giant scissors has a major weakness to the raid boss that players can exploit to defeat it.
large raid Pokémon Go This happens when Mega-Evolved Pokémon take over the game’s gyms, challenging players to team up for the most intense, high-stakes battles in the game. In return, players can earn rewards, including Super Power-ups, and the chance to add rare Pokémon to their Pokédex by subduing Raid Pokémon in battle. Mega Raid Boss has extremely high combat power (CP) and requires players to team up with other Pokémon trainers. In order to start a raid, players first need to obtain Raid Passes, which can be obtained for free once per day by spinning the Pokéstop Disc.
Mega Scizor is a double bug/steel type, very similar to Pokémon Go’s Giant Abomasno, which makes it extremely vulnerable to Fire-type Pokémon and moves. However, players should not expect easy wins. This is actually Mega Scizor’s only weakness, its typing ability making it quite resistant to some of the most common Pokémon types.
Best Countermeasures to Pokémon Go’s Mega Scizor Mega Raid
Players should avoid using Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, or Steel-type Pokémon and moves, as Giant Scissors is resistant to these types. This complicates things for players accustomed to relying on the incredible attack power of Dragon-type Pokémon. Grass-type Pokémon fare very poorly, as both Bug and Steel-type Pokémon are resistant to Grass-type Pokémon, and Giant Scissor has a Bug-type Pokémon that can deal super effective damage to Grass-type Pokémon.Even non-fire legendary Pokémon, such as the recent Pokémon Go Raid boss Palkia should be avoided, as their attacks only deal normal damage to Giant Shears. However, some Heavy Fire-type Legendary Pokémon are good choices:
- Reshiram – Dragon and Fire Legendary Pokémon | Firefang and Overheat moves.
- Moltres – Fire & Fly | Fire spins and overheated action.
- Ho-Oh – Fire and Flying Type | Incinerate and Holy Fire moves.
- Heatran – Fire Steel Type | Flame spin and flamethrower movement.
These legendary Pokémon all have fire-type moves, and their typing ensures that they are sufficiently resistant to giant scissors’ bugs and steel-type moves.However, given their rarity, they may be the only option for long-term use Pokémon Go players, although Moltres was launched back in July as one of Pokémon Go’s Leader of the July Raid. For players who haven’t collected Legendary Pokémon, other Pokémon are also available:
- Blaziken – Fire and Fighting Type | Flame Spin and Explosive Burning Moves
- Chandelier – Will-O-Wisp Type | Fire spinning and superheated action.
- Damanitan – Fire Type | Fire Fang and Overheat Action.
- Emboar – Fire and Combat | Embers and Explosive Burning Actions
Blaziken, Emboar, and Chandelure are harder for players to obtain, as all three are the final forms of their respective evolution lines. Therefore, it takes 125 candies to fully evolve them, and collecting it may take time. It is highly recommended to use Bona Berries, which will increase the amount of candy you get when catching Pokémon, allowing you to get a lot of candy quickly.
All of these Pokémon are good against Giant Scissors, as they are resistant to Bug and Steel-types, and have high-damage Fire-type moves. However, Pokémon Go’s The upcoming Mega Raids will feature Pokémon such as Mega Slowbro and Mega Ampharos, neither of which have Mega Scizor’s fire-type weakness. Therefore, players need to focus on forming new teams with different types and moves.
