In Pokémon GO the Proto-Pokémon are coming back soon. And especially with Kyogre, you should start preparing.
What’s going on in Pokémon GO? The return of the Proto-Pokémon has been announced. Both will have a Raid Day:
- Proto-Kyogre will appear on March 17, 2024
- Proto-Groudon returns on March 23
And those who participated in the debut of the two in the raids will remember: Especially Proto-Kyogre is a damned tough opponent that can take a lot of hits.
That’s why trainers advise: Prepare yourself now. Best with a strong counter that you can catch now.
Trainers advise: Get Mega-Sceptile
This is the monster: If you look at the list of the best counters against Proto-Kyogre, you will find Mega-Evolution of Sceptile at the top. This is the Mega form of the grass starter from the third generation of games.
If you equip Mega-Sceptile with Bullet Seed and Flora Statue, you have a very good moveset to hit Proto-Kyogre. Additionally, you boost the grass attacks of other Pokémon as long as Mega-Sceptile is active.
The good thing: As user Argarock
in the Pokémon GO community TheSilphRoad
notes on reddit, you can still catch this very monster in raids right now. Others agree that you should catch it now.
The overview of all events in March 2024 shows that you can still compete against Mega-Sceptile until March 14. Make the best of this time to secure a strong specimen and the necessary Mega Energy.
How do I defeat Mega-Sceptile? You should definitely rely on ice monsters, as Mega-Sceptile belongs to the dragon and plant types. Accordingly, monsters like Shadow Mamoswine, the rare Espurr, Shadow Snivy and other top counters in that direction are worthwhile.
You can find the best counters against Mega-Sceptile here.
What are alternatives? There is a problem with Mega-Sceptile: If Kyogre knows Blizzard, it quickly takes out many other plant counters.
That’s why you should generally be prepared to use different strong counters.
Pokémon like Katagami, Zarude, Shadow Raikou or even Voltriant are worth it. If you have good specimens here, level them up in preparation for Kyogre.
The Protos are among the best monsters you can catch this season. You can find 13 strong Pokémon that you should catch during the season here.
