What Mega Scizor’s Weaknesses and Counters Are in Pokemon GO

In Pokemon GO, Mega Scizor is set to make an appearance during Raids in early December 2023, as part of the Timeless Travels Season. As Raid Pokemon have inflated CP, knowing how to target their weaknesses and run a team that can counter them can be extremely beneficial to ensure you emerge victorious and gain the opportunity to catch one for yourself.

Mega Scizor is a Bug/Steel Dual-Type Pokemon, meaning that it is weak to Fire, Ground, Fighting, Flying, and Rock Type moves. Most significantly, both the Bug and Steel Types are vulnerable to Fire, making powerful Fire Type Pokemon the most useful choices for going up against Mega Scizor. However, if you’re lacking one of these ‘Mons, any of the other Typings listed above should also do just fine.

As per Pokebattler.com, here is a list of five of the best Pokemon GO counters for Mega Scizor, including moves:

Gligar

  • Fast Move – Wing Attack
  • Charged Move – Dig

Shadow Charizard

  • Fast Move – Wing Attack
  • Charged Move – Blast Burn
