How to Catch Mega Medicham

After you defeat Mega Medicham in the raid, you’ll have a chance to catch its regular form! Just a heads up, you can’t catch it in its Mega form.

Tips for Catching:

• CP Range:
  • Regular encounter: 764-817
  • Weather boosted (when sunny or windy): 955-1,022

To improve your chances while throwing a Poké Ball, try the circle lock technique. Hold down on the Poké Ball and wait for the catch circle to size up, then release just when Medicham attacks.

Playing with Friends for the Raid

For the best chance of victory, grab a couple of friends! Having 2-3 trainers in your group helps make the battle easier and gives everyone more chances to catch Medicham afterward.

Can Mega Medicham Be Shiny?

Good news! There’s a possibility to catch a shiny version of Mega Medicham. Shiny Medicham has a different color scheme (its red pants turn blue!). The shiny catch rate is about 1 in 60, so the more you raid, the better your chances!

Conclusion

Mega Medicham may not be the strongest Pokémon, but it can be a fun part of your Pokémon journey! If you put in the effort and gather your friends, you can make awesome memories raiding together.
