Camerupt

Recommended Moves: ・ Earthquake ・ Lava Plume ・ Flamethrower ・ Focus Energy How to Get: ・Evolve from Numel at Lvl. 33. Numel is found at Wild Zone 8. Summary: Being a Fire and Ground-type, Camerupt can tank Rogue Mega Mawile's Steel and Dark-type attacks with little to no damage at all. On the other hand, any of Camerupt's attacks are double effective against the Rogue Mega. |
Camerupt is the best counter Pokemon against the Rogue Mega Mawile. Its Fire and Ground-type attacks are super effective against Fairy and Steel-type. Defensively, Fire and Ground-type Pokemon are resistant to Fairy and Steel.

Rogue Mega Camerupt Strategy Guide
Recommended Move Rotation
| Focus Energy → Flamethrower → Earthquake → Lava Plume → Flamethrower |
With Mawile's naturally low Sp. Def., we will utilize Camperupt's high base Sp. Atk to defeat the Rogue Mega very easily. Start with Focus Energy to increase critical hit chance.
Then, you can use Fire and Ground-type attacks simultaneously, since they all have similar cooldowns. You also do not need to worry about sustainability, as all of Mawile's attacks are not effective against Camerupt.
Charizard

Recommended Moves: ・ Fire Fang ・ Fire Spin ・ Fire Blast ・ Flamethrower How to Get: ・Evolve from Charmander Line, obtained from Side Mission 22: A Call from Mable. Summary: Charizard is a good counter Pokemon and alternate to Camerupt, since Camerupt is slow due to its low base Speed. Mega evolving it to Mega Charizard Y makes its Fire-type attacks more powerful. |
If you are bothered by Camerupt's slow Speed, you can opt to choose Charizard and Mega Charizard Y. Its Fire-type makes it resistant to Fairy and Steel-type attacks.
Do note that you Mega Charizard Y is better to use here, since it's a Fire and Flying-type, rather than Mega Charizard X, which is a Fire and Dragon-type. Fairy attacks are not effective against Y, but cause normal damage against the X.
Charizard Location, Evolution, and Stats
Obtain Charizardite X and Y from Stone Emporium
Charizardite X and Y can be bought from the Stone Emporium for 100,000 P. The Stone Emporium is located to the north of Wild Zone 1, below the Pokemon Center.
Charizardite X can be used to evolve Charizard to Mega Charizard X, while Y will evolve to Mega Charizard Y.
Recommended Move Rotation
| Fire Spin → Fire Blast → Flamethrower → Fire Fang → Fire Spin |
Fire Spin creates a Fire AoE under Mega Mawile, which deals continuous damage as long as it is within the circle. Follow Fire Spin with Fire Blast, which maximizes the bonus damage dealt by the Fire AoE.
Flamethrower should follow after, then Fire Fang, which both have quicker cooldowns compared to the other moves, so it should be used to weave between rotations, maintaining continuous Fire-type damage.
How to Beat Rogue Mega Mawile
| Rogue Mega Mawile Battle Tips |
|---|
|
|
Dodge Against Iron Head and Play Rough
| Rogue Mega Mawile Common Attacks | |
|---|---|
| Iron Head |
Play Rough |
Rogue Mega Mawile's common attacks are Iron Head, which is a Steel-type, and Play Rough, which is a Fairy-type. Both of these attacks are Physical, so Mawile will get close to its target first before performing either of these attacks.
Once it gets close to someone, be sure to dodge or reposition to avoid getting hit by either of its attacks.
Retreat Your Pokemon If Mawile Goes Out the Battle Area
Once it's HP reaches a certain point, it will teleport outside of the Battle Area, and throws a barrage of Fairy-type Orbs in the air. Make sure to look for the gaps in between the orbs and stay put to avoid it.
Retreat your Pokemon during this point, as the Orbs are big in circumference, and its hard to measure if your Pokemon can dodge it.
