Mega Scizor Raid Guide

June 17, 2026

Mega Scizor is a Bug and Steel type Mega Raid boss. Due to its 2x weakness to the Fire type, the best counters for Mega Scizor are strong Fire type counters.

It is possible to solo Mega Scizor in Sunny weather, particularly with the use of Mega evolved Fire type Pokémon, and Shadow Pokémon, but only for the high level, well prepared trainer. In all other cases, around 2-5 trainers with strong and high-level Fire type Pokémon can take down Mega Scizor with relative ease, no matter what the weather in the game is like.

This write-up will serve as a comprehensive guide to successfully beating Mega Scizor in the raid.

How to get Mega Scizor

You cannot catch Scizor 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 Scizor.

Scizor can be caught with the following CP values:

1636 – 1714 CP at level 20, no weather boost
2046 – 2143 CP at level 25 with Rainy or Snow weather boost

To get Mega Scizor you will need to gather 200 Mega Energy for Mega Scizor to evolve your Scizor. Once you have evolved a Scizor you can use 40 Mega Energy to evolve it again, or you can wait for the cooldown period to end for a free Mega Evolution. There are different levels for Mega Pokemon, and the higher the level, the quicker the cooldown. Each new Mega Scizor you evolve will cost 200 Mega Energy.
