Welcome, Trainers!
A personal favourite of mine, Mega Sceptile will be returning to Mega Raids fromFriday, March 1st, 2024, at 10:00 am local time to Thursday, Jun 13, 2025, at 10:00 am local time.Just like all Mega Raid bosses, Mega Sceptile should be handled with care. This raid guide will teach you exactly what you need to do in order to take it down!
Mega Sceptile can be caught at the followingCP ranges:
Mega Sceptile can be caught in both shiny and normal variations - and Ihighlyrecommend farming for the shiny. Its shiny is a super cool teal colour. Check out both of its variations:
Mega Sceptile is a Grass- and Dragon-type Pokemon! This gives it weaknesses toBug, Poison, Flying, Fairy, Dragon, andespecially Ice-type moves. If you may, you should focus on building your teams up with Ice movesets as much as possible - it will make quick work of this guy.
On account of its typing, Mega Sceptile is boosted by Sunny and Windy weather conditions. It will be stronger if you encounter it during these conditions, and will be higher level when you catch it. However, given that these conditions may also come with actual risks to your person, be wise when you decide to go out or not. It may be worth it to stay in and remote raid instead.
Mega Sceptile, if you build your parties correctly,canbe soloed. However, it’s going to be a massive pain to do so. We recommend that you tackle Mega Sceptile with at least 2-3 Trainers to make the raids go by quickly. If your friends do not have high-level counters, you’re able to get away with 3-4 Trainers pretty easily. The more people you get, the faster these raids will go by. Remember, take advantage of the buffs you get from Party Play! It’s free damage, if you’re all together anyway.
Recommended Party
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
