Thus, for trainers aiming to add this powerful Pokemon to their collection, it’s advisable to refer to this comprehensive guide which covers Mega Venusaur’s counters, strengths, and potential weaknesses in detail.

Pokemon GO Mega Venusaur Raid: Weaknesses & Resistances

In its Mega form, Venusaur is a combination of Plant and Poison types, making it vulnerable to attacks from Fire, Flying, Psychic, and Ice types. However, it will withstand attacks from Water, Electric, Fairy, Grass, and Fighting types. To excel in the Raid battle, construct your team around these resistant types. During the Raid, Mega Venusaur can unleash powerful moves like Solar Beam and Sludge Bomb, which inflict significant damage on opposing teams. So, make sure to include Pokémon that are resistant to both Poison and Plant-based attacks in your team.

Pokemon GO Best Mega Venusaur Raid Counters

In Pokemon Go, the most effective counters for a Mega Venusaur Raid are Mega Rayquaza and Mega Charizard Y. However, you can only use one mega at a time, so pick carefully. Mega Rayquaza could be the strongest choice due to its moves Air Slash and Dragon Ascent, but only if you’ve unlocked its special move with a Meteorite. If not, Mega Charizard Y is the better option, boasting Fire Spin and Blast Burn, which will inflict significant damage on Venusaur’s Plant-type form. Keep in mind that there are several suitable options for this raid, so tailor your team based on the Pokemon you have at your disposal.

  • Mega Blaziken (with Fire Spin and Blast Burn).
  • White Kyurem (with Ice Fang and Ice Burn).
  • Shadow Heatran (with Fire Spin and Magma Storm).
  • Shadow Mewtwo (with Psycho Cut and Psystrike).
  • Shadow Moltres (with Fire Spin and Sky Attack).
  • Reshiram (with Fire Fang and Fusion Flare).

How To Get Shiny Mega Venusaur In Pokemon GO

As a dedicated Pokemon GO enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about Shiny Venusaur! If you manage to defeat Mega Venusaur in Raids, there’s a chance you might stumble upon a Shiny Venusaur, and here’s the best part – since Raid Pokemon shines are guaranteed catches, you’ll have a 100% success rate. However, keep in mind that the odds of encountering one aren’t exactly in your favor, as it occurs roughly once every 20 attempts.

But don’t worry if you miss out on a Shiny Venusaur during Raids! You can still create your very own Shiny Venusaur by evolving a Shiny Bulbasaur into a Shiny Ivysaur using 25 Bulbasaur Candy, and then into a Shiny Venusaur with 100 Bulbasaur Candy. And if that’s not enough, you can take your Shiny Venusaur to new heights by evolving it into a Shiny Mega Venusaur using an impressive 200 Mega Venusaur Energy!
