How to Get Mega Gardevoir
You cannot catch Gardevoir 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 Gardevoir.
Gardevoir can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1688 – 1767 CP no weather boost
- 2110 – 2209 CP boosted by Windy and Cloudy weather boost
In order to get Mega Gardevoir you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Gardevoir again in the future. If you wait for their ‘cooldown’ period to end, Mega Evolution is free. This cooldown period is shorter the higher mega level your Mega Pokémon is. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Gardevoir Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Gardevoir, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Ralts, Kirlia or Gardevoir to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex. This may change when Mega Gallade is also released!
Shiny Gardevoir
Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Gardevoir from a raid.
