what's actually worth your time / candy
From August 11th to August 17th, trainers can participate in a special event offering free research. This research allows you to choose between Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie, impacting the Mega Energy and Candy XL you can earn for their evolved forms.
Mega Delphox emerges as the new #1 Fire-type attacker in the game, making it an incredibly valuable asset. Be aware of its weaknesses to Water, Ground, Rock, Ghost, and Dark types. Top counters include Primal Kyogre, Mega Garchomp, and Mega Blastoise.
Mega Greninja holds its ground as the #2 Water-type attacker, a powerful choice for many raids. Its weaknesses are Electric, Grass, Fighting, Bug, and Fairy. Effective counters include Zekrom, Mega Sceptile, and Mega Lucario.
While not at the top, Mega Chesnaught is a solid #3 Grass-type attacker. Consider its weaknesses: Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. Strong counters include Mega Charizard Y, White Kyurem, and Eternatus.
Based on meta relevance, prioritizing Mega Delphox for its #1 Fire-type attacker status is highly recommended. Mega Greninja is a very close second for Water-type utility. Your choice affects future candy income, so pick wisely!
