How to get Mega Absol in Pokémon GO

You cannot catch Absol in its mega-evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, and as such, the CP ranges are for a regular Absol.

Absol can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1370 – 1443 CP at level 20, no weather boost
• 1712 – 1805 CP at level 25 with Fog weather boost

To get Mega Absol, you will need to gather 200 Mega Energy for Mega Absol to evolve your Absol. Once you have evolved an Absol, it only costs 50 Mega Energy to evolve again in the future, but each new Absol evolved will cost 200 Mega Energy.
