Mega Swampert’s Pokemon GO stat spread makes up 283 ATK, 218 DEF, and 225 HP, making it an offensive pick. Its maximum Combat Power (CP) reaches a total of 4975 CP, which increases notably as a Mega Raid Boss. You should avoid solo raids and team up with at least 4 trainers to fortify the chances of winning.
You must analyze Mega Swampert’s type-weaknesses and resistances before selecting the raid counters. Look for monsters with powerful moves that fall under Mega Swampert’s type-weaknesses.
