While defeating the boss only allows you to catch the non-Mega-Evolved version of that Pokémon, Mega Raids are only of the only ways to get Mega Energy in Go, so you can save up and Mega-Evolve that Pokémon yourself.

What is the Pokémon Go Shadow Raid schedule in November 2024?

There is only one Shadow Raid in the Pokémon Go schedule for this month, this time being for a Shadow Suicine; there's even a chance you might encounter a Shiny version.

• 16th November
• 17th November
• 23rd November
• 24th November
• 30th November

Suicune is a pure Water-type in Pokémon GO, meaning it doesn't just have one weakness but two: Electric and Grass-type attacks.

For the best chance of defeating Suicune, you'll need to use counters like Mega Sceptile, Kartana, Zekrom, and Raikou.
