How to Get Mega Steelix
You cannot catch Steelix 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 Steelix.
Steelix can be caught with the following CP values:
- 2010 – 2097 CP no weather boost
- 2512 – 2622 CP boosted by Sunny or Snow weather boost
In order to get Mega Steelix, you will need 200 Mega Energy for the initial evolution, then 40 Mega Energy to evolve the same Steelix again in the future. Mega Energy can be obtained via Mega Steelix Raids, and once you have evolved Mega Steelix, you can earn 5 Mega Energy per candy while walking it as your buddy. You can walk any Onix or Steelix to earn Mega Energy, as long as you have previously evolved one to register it to your Mega Pokédex.
