How to Get Mega Mawile
You cannot catch Mawile in it’s 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 Mawile.
Mawile can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1290 – 1360 CP no weather boost
- 1613 – 1700 CP boosted by Windy and Cloudy weather boost
In order to get Mega Mawile you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Mawile 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 Mawile Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Mawile, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy.
Shiny Mawile
Like all Mega Raid Bosses, you can catch the shiny version of Mawile from a raid.

Conclusion
Mega Mawile is going to be nice to have in your Mega dex, but that’s about it. It unfortunately doesn’t do well as a raid attacker, and is ineligible for most PvP formats with the exception of Master Mega League, where it is quickly decimated by the numerous Ground and Fire types that call that league home. Unfortunately, despite having two giant jaws on it’s head, Mega Mawile is all bark and no bite.
