Mega Mawile is a Steel and Fairy type Mega Raid boss. Best Mega Mawile raid counters include powerful Fire and Ground types, with a mixed range of different counters available to help you defeat it. It can be shiny!

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

We would recommend a minimum of 3 trainers with ideal maxed-out counters and Mega Pokémon. Otherwise, we would recommend 5-7 trainers to deal with Mega Mawile’s defence, and more if you don’t have optimal teams. This guide will tell you how to beat this deceptive Mega, as well as its optimal stats, moves, and CP range.

Hey, I'm Tudor. I've been an avid Pokémon fan since the European release of Pokémon Red and Blue, I chose Blue. From there my love of the franchise grew when Gold and Silver were released, and I was introduced to my favourite Pokémon, Sneasel! In GO, I'm a die hard team Mystic player and enjoy completing various collections such as the lucky dex and getting hundo Mega evolutions. Across all Pokémon games I'm a bit of a casual shiny hunter.
