Mega Mawile is weak to Fire- and Ground-type attacks in Pokémon GO. The confirmed 2026 Mega Raid appearance covered by the available schedule ended September 6, so check the in-game raid view or a current official announcement before planning a raid. Shiny Mawile has been available from Mega Raids, but no current boosted rate or exact odds are established.
Is Mega Mawile in raids right now?
The official Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Mega Finale schedule listed Mega Mawile among its Mega Raid bosses from August 31 through September 6, 2026, local time. That appearance has ended. A subsequent official schedule announcement does not verify Mega Mawile in an October rotation, so check the live raid view or a newer official announcement for current availability.
What is Mega Mawile weak to?
Mega Mawile is Steel/Fairy type. Fire- and Ground-type attacks are super effective against it, making those the two attack types to prioritize. It resists Dragon, Bug, Dark, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, and Rock attacks, according to the Pokémon GO Hub Mega Mawile Raid Guide.
Possible moves and matchup considerations
The guide lists Fairy Wind, Astonish, Bite, Ice Fang, and Fire Fang as possible Fast Attacks, and Iron Head, Play Rough, Power-Up Punch, and Vise Grip as possible Charged Attacks. These possibilities can affect comfort and survival: Ground attackers may have a harder time against Ice Fang, while Fire attackers should account for Power-Up Punch. These are matchup considerations, not a prediction of the moves in a particular raid.

Which Pokémon are good Mega Mawile raid counters?
Pokémon GO Hub’s counter simulator, crawled in October 2026, ranks these among its leading choices in the displayed setup:
| Ranked option | Moves shown | Type approach |
|---|---|---|
| Mega Delphox | Fire Spin, Mystical Fire+ | Fire |
| Blacephalon | Incinerate, Mind Blown | Fire |
| Mega Blaziken | Fire Spin, Blast Burn | Fire |
| Mega Charizard Y | Fire Spin, Blast Burn | Fire |
| Shadow Reshiram | Fire Fang, Fusion Flare | Fire |
| Primal Groudon | Mud Shot, Precipice Blades | Ground |
These are simulator rankings, not guaranteed field results or a requirement to own a particular Pokémon. The simulator combines DPS and TDO for its score; it cautions that estimated time to win and faint counts may differ in practice because factors such as Friendship and Mega damage boosts are not included. Compare the Fire- or Ground-type damage and moves of the Pokémon you have, then weigh estimated damage against survivability. See the counter guide and its methodology notes.

What do you get for defeating Mega Mawile?
Niantic Support explains that winning a Mega Raid gives Mega Energy and an opportunity to catch the boss. Mega Mawile de-Mega Evolves for the catch encounter, so the Pokémon you attempt to catch is Mawile. Mega Energy awarded depends on how quickly the raid is won. Pokémon GO Hub lists a catch range of 877–934 CP without a weather boost, or 1,096–1,167 CP with Snow or Cloudy weather boost; these are guide reference ranges, not a guarantee for every encounter. See Niantic’s Mega Raid explanation.
Can Mawile be shiny after a Mega Mawile Raid?
Yes. The official Mega Mawile Raid Day announcement for October 12, 2024 said, “If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Mawile!” It also specified an increased chance during Mega Raids for that event. That documents past availability and an event-specific boost; the announcement gives no exact odds and does not establish a current boosted rate.
