How to Get Mega Altaria

You cannot catch Altaria 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 Altaria.

Altaria can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1081 – 1145 CP, no weather boost
• 1352 – 1432 CP, boosted by Windy or Cloudy weather boost

In order to get Mega Altaria you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Altaria again in the future. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Altaria Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Altaria, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Swablu or Altaria to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
