Mega Houndoom Raid Counters Guide

Mega Houndoom

Mega Houndoom is a Dark and Fire-type Mega Pokémon, and it is weak to Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water type moves.

It is possible to duo Mega Houndoom in weather conditions where your counters are boosted. It also helps that Mega Houndoom isn’t too bulky. In all other cases, around 3-5 Trainers with strong and high-level counters can take down the Raid Boss with relative ease, no matter what the weather in the game is like.

How to get Mega Houndoom in Pokémon GO

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

You cannot catch Mega Houndoom from the Raid. Rather, you’ll encounter regular Houndoom, which can be caught with the following CP values :

• 1432 – 1505 CP at level 20, no weather boost
• 1790 – 1882 CP at level 25 with Fog or Sunny weather boost

Sprites

Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Houndoom from a Raid. The odds of getting a shiny Houndoom are 1 in 10 Raids. Here are the sprites for normal and Mega Houndoom.
