Pokédex notes
Mega Blastoise is a Mega Water form in GO. Mega forms boost same-type allies in raids; lead with Mega when the lobby needs that type.
Where in GO: Mega Raids, Mega Energy, and high-tier events
Invest tip: Farm Mega Energy from Mega Blastoise raids and events. Prefer Mega when the lobby needs Water boost and you have Water Gun + Hydro Cannon. Keep a non-Shadow for Mega — Shadows cannot Mega Evolve.
