[Top 5] Pokemon GO Best Mega Evolutions For PVE (2024)

Hi, Trainers

I know you want to be more than just a player… You want to EXCEL! No, I'm not talking about spreadsheets(Sorry for disappointing). I'm talking about nailing Pokémon Go! For this reason, I'm bringing you…

...THE TOP 5 BEST POKÉMONS FOR YOUR PVE!

Let's GO!

...But not yet

If you are a newbie, maybe you still don't know what PVE means, so let's get this solved first: PVE means Player vs. Environment. Sometimes you'll fight against the Team Go Rocket or even at Raids and Gyms, in these situations you'll be playing a PVE battle.

How Do I get MEGA ENERGY?

Specific Field Research or in Mega Raids.

ALRIGHT! So…

LET'S GO!

5. MEGA SLOWBRO

Mega Slowbro doesn't change its own type after Mega evolving, which isn't necessary, since Lowbro's typing already includes great resistance and excellent Moves for a PVE, but still this Mega Evolution increases its CP from a "meh" 2545 to an impressive 3755!

What MEGA SLOWBRO Excels In

4. MEGA GENGAR

Just like Mega Slowbro, Mega Gengar doesn't change its typing but still increase its resistance and CP, going from 2878 to a 4336 CP! If you are looking for a Ghost-type for your PVE, Mega Gengar is your Pokémon.

3. MEGA GYARADOS

Gyarados is alredy a very powerful Pokémon and Mega evolving just increases this, turning Gyarados from a Water-Flying type to a Water-Dark type, which boosts its Dark Moves. Its CP also changes, going from 3391 to 4717.

2. MEGA AMPHAROS

The Electric-types, which includes Ampharos, is one of the less used Pokémons types, due to its low resistance, but this dramatically changes when Ampharos Mega evolves, getting the Dragon-type, increasing its resistance and going from a 2852 CP to an impressive 4245 one!

What MEGA AMPHAROS Excels In

A great option against the types: Dragon, Electric, Water, Flying, Bug and Fire

MEGA AMPHAROS Best Attacks

1. MEGA CHARIZARD

Charizard can Mega Evolve to two different Pokémons:

MEGA CHARIZARD X and MEGA CHARIZARD Y.

Mega Charizard X gets the Dragon-type added to its Fire-Type, turning into a Fire and Dragon double-type. Its CP goes from 2889 to 3850.

Very useful for your PVE against the types: Dragon, Electric, Fire, Ground and Ice.

Mega CHARIZARD X Best Attacks

Mega Charizard Y doesn't change any of its previous types after mega evolving, this way just as Charizard it is a dual-type Pokémon, Fire and Flying. But there's a big advantage here: a CP that goes from 2889 to 4455!

What MEGA CHARIZARD Y Excels In

Very useful for your PVE against the types: Fighting, Ground, Ice and Bug.

MEGA CHARIZARD Y Best Attacks
