Pokémon GO: How to Prepare for September Mega Finale Raids

To prepare your Pokémon GO account for the September Mega Finale, start gathering required Mega Energy for your primary raid counters and clearing item bag space before the event begins.

Action Checklist Before the Event

Preparing ahead of time prevents you from burning daily raid passes solely to keep up with energy requirements during the event window.

• Farm Mega Energy Early: Spend daily raid passes on current raid rotations that reward energy for high-performing battle counters. Having Mega Evolution active during raids boosts your damage output and overall efficiency.
• Prune Your Item Bag: Clear out redundant evolution items and low-tier potion stock. Reserve inventory room for high-value battle supplies like Golden Razz Berries and Max Revives, as well as incoming rewards such as Rare Candy and TMs.
• Optimize High-DPS Counters: Evaluate your team for type effectiveness against expected raid bosses. Use Fast TMs and Charged TMs to fix non-optimal movesets, and invest Stardust and Candy into your highest damage-per-second attackers.

Setting Account Priorities

Your choice of raids during September should align with your specific progression goals:

Raid Pass Timing and Group Execution

Avoid spending all your passes on the first day of an event window. Save passes for periods when local raid groups or active lobbies are available to ensure full teams for higher-tier Mega raids.

Additionally, watch for temporary event bonuses rotating throughout September. Align active play sessions with active perks, such as increased catch candy or reduced egg hatching distances, to maximize yield while completing daily raid tasks.
