Mega Starmie Raid Guide (Super Mega Raid)

Artwork of Mega Starmie from Pokémon GO Mega Starmie

Mega Starmie is a Water and Psychic type Super Mega Raid boss. Best Mega Starmie raid counters include powerful Bug, Dark, Electric, Ghost, and Grass types, with a mixed range of different counters available to help you defeat it.

Super Mega Raids require a minimum of 8 trainers to defeat them, and each trainer will need to have a Mega Pokémon in their team. This guide will tell you how to beat this robot bird Mega, as well as its optimal stats, moves, and CP range.

Primal Groudon Energy icon Note on Primal Pokémon

Primal Pokémon cannot be used to break shields in Super Mega Raids, so we do not recommend using them as counters. This specifically means do not bring a Primal Groudon or Primal Kyogre to these Raids.

Super Mega Raid Information

During Super Mega Raids the Mega Pokémon can become enraged, and even use shields that dramatically reduce the amount of damage they take. You’ll have to work together to take down these shields, but each Trainer can only take down one shield.

  • Once the Mega Pokémon boss activates a shield, a Mega Pokémon from your Raid team will be automatically sent into the battle.
  • Your next attack by your Mega Pokémon will be significantly more powerful than usual, allowing you to break down the boss’s shield!

Once you and your fellow Trainers have broken enough shields, the Raid Boss will return to its normal state, and you will be able to do normal damage again.


How to Get Mega Starmie

You cannot catch Starmie in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form, so the CP ranges are for a regular Starmie.

Starmie can be caught with the following CP values:

  • From 1404 CP to 1476 CP, with no weather boost
  • From 1756 CP to 1846 CP with Rainy or Windy weather boost
