Pokémon GO Finale Raid Priorities: Armored Mewtwo and Mega Delphox

Prioritize Mega Delphox raids early in the Pokémon GO Finale event if your roster lacks top-tier Fire-type raid attackers or if you need to gather Mega Energy. Once you secure enough Mega Energy to evolve Delphox, shift your daily and premium raid passes to Armored Mewtwo to accumulate Candy and unlock secondary movesets for defensive utility.

Comparing Finale Raid Options

Your decision to spend raid passes depends on whether your team needs immediate Fire-type damage output or a bulkier defensive anchor.

Raid Pass Allocation Sequence

To minimize wasted resources during crowded event rotations, follow this pass distribution order:

1. Audit your inventory: Check your current stock of Fire-type attackers and existing Mega Energy before joining a lobby. If you already have strong Fire attackers, you can skip heavy investment in Delphox.
2. Secure Mega Delphox Energy early: Raid Mega Delphox during initial event hours to unlock its Mega Evolution. Evolving it early grants a damage bonus to fellow raiders in subsequent battles throughout the event.
3. Shift passes to Armored Mewtwo: Spend your remaining passes on Armored Mewtwo raids to farm Candy. Because Armored Mewtwo's high defense stat extends time-to-win, gathering extra Candy is essential for unlocking secondary movesets.

Raid Counters and Lobby Tactics

• Against Mega Delphox: Lead with Ground, Rock, or Water-type attackers to capitalize on high Damage Per Second (DPS) and clear the raid quickly.
• Against Armored Mewtwo: Deploy Dark, Ghost, or Bug-type attackers to cut through its high Defense stat.
• Group Management: In small groups or remote lobbies, favor high Total Damage Output (TDO) counters over fragile glass cannons to avoid fainting, re-lobbying, and losing precious event time.
