With Mega Absol making its way back to raids in Pokemon GO, fans are quite curious to learn more about what weaknesses and resistances they can exploit for the raid, and which Pokemon serve as the best counter for Mega Absol.




While Mega Absol might not be as powerful as some of the other Pokemon in the game such as the legendaries, it can still be quite a tricky enemy to defeat considering that it has a pretty good stat spread. It is also weather-boosted by Fog, which means that its CP will be boosted whenever the weather around the players is foggy. While that can sound quite intimidating, catching weather-boosted Pokemon does offer its own perks, so players should definitely not miss out on the opportunity.
