How to Get Mega Sceptile

You cannot catch Sceptile 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 Sceptile.

Sceptile can be caught with the following CP values:

• 1500 – 1575 CP at Level 20 with no weather boost
• 1876 – 1969 CP at Level 25 with Sunny or Windy weather boost

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