How to Get Mega Swampert

You cannot catch Swampert in its mega evolved form from the raid. The mega raid boss is always catchable in its base form.

Swampert can be caught with the following CP values:

1622 – 1699 CP at Level 20 with no weather boost
2027 – 2124 CP at Level 25 with Sunny or Rainy weather boost

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