There are a few possible Pokemon that can appear as a Mega Raid boss inPokemon GOdepending on the current rotation. The current three Pokemon to possibly serve as one are Mega Venusaur, Mega Ampharos, and Mega Houndoom.
WhilePokemon GOplayers can raise and evolve their own Venusaur themselves, they can also get a fully evolved one by challenging its Mega Raid. This Pokemon is incredibly useful in PVE and PVP whether or not it is mega evolved.

Venusaur is a dual grass andpoison-type Pokemonnative to the Kanto region. It is weak to fire, flying, ice, and psychic-type moves while also resisting fighting, water, electric, fairy, and grass-type moves. After mega evolving, Venusaur keeps its typing, weaknesses, and resistances.
Players can obtain a Venusaur via evolution by using 25 Bulbasaur candies on aBulbasaurin order to evolve it into Ivysaur. Then players can use 100 Bulbasaur candies on their Ivysaur in order to evolve it into Venusaur.
While there are multiple event variations for Venusaur’s first evolutionary stage, Bulbasaur, players cannot evolve them. This means that there is no event hat Venusaur for theHalloween costume cosmetic, red party hat, or the Pikachu visor. The only event variation for Venusaur is the Clone Venusaur that was available through Pokemon Day 2020.
Venusaur has the choice between two different fast moves and six different choices for charge moves. There is a best choice though for Venusaur’s best moveset to take advantage of maximum DPS. This moveset is:
While Vine Whip can be easily taught to Venusaur with a fast TM, getting Frenzy Plant can be a bit more tricky. This is due to Frenzy Plant being considered to be an elite move inPokemon GO. Outside of events, the only way to get Venusaur to learn Frenzy Plant is by using anelite charged TMon it. These can be obtained by participating in the GO Battle League.
If players are unable to get an elite charged TM, there is are two other moves can serve as substitutes. While they aren’t as effective as Frenzy Plant in PVE and PVP, Solar Beam and Petal Blizzard can help deal out good amounts of damage.
Like many of the other Pokemon fromthe Kanto region, players have the chance to get a shiny Venusaur. The most likely way of doing this is by catching a shiny Bulbasaur, which is a different shade of green from a normal Bulbasaur. Being a shiny Pokemon does not affect the Pokemon’s stats whatsoever and is only a cosmetic difference.
Pokemon GOis available now on Android and iOS.
