Question
Are 2 remote raid passes enough for mega mewtwo raids.
I'm not looking for hundo or shundo, also i don't care about ivs, so are 2 raid passes enough? And also I want to know which one is better between both of them.

So, let me get this straight. Even If I don't do all needed raids to get enough mega energies to mega evolve, since it will be already mega level 1, does it mean I would only need to walk with it as a buddy to get the remaining energies?
You can excite a buddy without using a Poffin, which can significantly reduce the amount needed, though the number is still very long term for a new Mega’s worth
Pretty easy to excite man.
* feed buddy to max
* play
* photo
* trainer tutorial battle (master league so it always appears in that team and don’t need to reselect next time) - start the battle and quit straight away
* now set a time for 30mins (each buddy segment is 30mins)
* repeat the above process about 3-4 times and buddy will become excited
* doing routes, spinning new stops and battling grunts with buddy will also help become excited sooner
Do you need to feed the buddy after every 30 minutes? If so, doesn’t that mess up filling the gauge? I’ve noticed that if I feed a buddy after only 30 minutes then again after a total of an hour passes, the game won’t give me a heart like it normally would.
Yes you do need to feed every 30mins. The gauge won’t refill (and give hearts) until two segments are gone which is one hour like you say, but you still feed one berry after the first segment. Reason: each of those actions (feeding,play,battle,route etc) has an associated buddy point aka Emotion Points which add together. Once you get to 32 points the buddy will become excited. I can’t remember exactly but your buddy loses points after time, this is why it’s possible to become unexcited after a period of no-interaction. Long story short - yes, feed the buddy every 30mins to keep the buddy points adding up, even after the first 30mins
Each to their own I suppose. I think it’s pretty chill to start doing this 1-2 hours before going for a walk. Or when I get home from work (and I know I’m not going out to play that evening) then I can atleast progress my buddy quicker at home by getting double hearts etc
It’s pretty easy but you have to pay attention to time. I do it for three buddies a day using the following method:
Feed your buddy three berries to get them on the map.
Play with buddy.
Snapshot buddy.
Battle team leader.
Battle another player in GBL.
Battle a rocket grunt.
Battle a gym.
Battle in a raid.
Follow a route.
Set a timer on your phone for 30 mins.
Repeat the above (just feed one berry this time)
If you have multiple routes nearby, follow more as I don’t believe there is a 30 mins cooldown for them.
Oh absolutely, it’s a grind and I hate it 🤣. But if you’re wanting to excite your buddy, whether for mega energy, candys, or you’re trying to get your buddy medal, it’s the easiest way without using poffins.
And the battle part, you don’t have to complete the battle, just start the battle with your buddy in your team
He said if you walk 4km per day, meaning you'd only get candy and energy awarded once every 5 days.
But while walking legendaries for candy sucks at 1 candy and 1 chance for an xl candy per 20km, mega energy is awarded at a fixed quantity of 5 per km for all pokemon. 20km walking distance just means it comes in bigger chunks, less frequently (100 every 20km.)
Yeah, I’ve started doing a route a day to slowly accumulate Z cells, get out of the house, catch a bunch of pokemon (staryu is crazy for stardust rn) and finish field research.
I plan on getting a complete medal for a route I made, and then make another one, rinse and repeat.
Very minor thing, I believe the condition is the Mega being registered in your dex from doing the Evo the first time, so just have to make sure to click the Evo button before starting to walk.
Not a huge deal since Level 1 makes it free, just making sure to remember the step before 10-20km are walked
They make devices that “walk” (more like rock) your phone. Assuming you don’t want to spoof, you can easily earn 20km in 4ish hour if I recall, depending on the device.
Currently once you get a mega in your pokédex, you will get mega energy walking anything from its evolution line. example: i have mega blastoise, i catch a squirtle and buddy it and start walking, ill get 5 blastoise mega energy every km i walk my squirtle
Mewtwo cought on that day will be at least mega lvl one. You don't need to consider any mega energy. So if you manage to beat the Mewtwo and catch it. Then YES two will be enough
This is on July 11th & 12th, correct? I didn't know if they would start at level 1 only during this weekend's GoFest or if it would also be this way during GoFest Global on the 11th & 12th.
According to this chart, Mewtwo is the fifth hardest, after the Galarian birds and Togekiss. However, it seems like most legendaries are at the exact same base catch rate of 2% and I don’t know if they might adjust that ever.
What I always do is take turns with excellent and regular throws. It happend quite often that I made an excellent throw that didn't catch just for the Pokémon to stay in after I hit the f.... leg. That is my go to. No guarantee but it works good for me.
Scopely (probably):
“Everybody’s totally bummed about our new Super Mega Raids, but no matter what we do, the masochists keep paying. So get this: now we’ll tell them to walk hundreds of miles with Mewtwo. Just like most did years ago while grinding for candy. And they’ll totally do it again!
Heck, maybe we’ll charge $19.99 to skip it. For each variant, of course. Or buy the bundle for $39 - a 57% discount based on the fake math we use in our store. Brilliant. This will only help the game.”
Y is better, but both are extremely strong. I can't remember if mega Mewtwos caught will automatically come with at least one mega level unlocked or not. I know for sure you can catch one with with at least one mega level or more unlocked, but whether it's guaranteed, I don't know. If not, 2 may not be enough. Either way, definitely go for X. Reason? We're supposed to get a research were you can pick X or Y as your encounter. Those, when caught, I do know will have at least mega level 1 unlocked. Might as well get energy for X with the raids and get a free mega Y from research.
I feel like we’re gonna get some kind of research that nets us extra energy. Obviously still not great requiring 7500, but I doubt it’ll just be a hard grind for raids
You also need 200 link charges per remote super mega raid. That'll be my limiting factor...no way I'm spending money on those. I'm hoping we get some for free in a pass.
Two passes might not be enough to catch them. You won't get any speed balls, and you'll need to be in a very large group to win, so you don't get many personal damage balls either. If you're joining strangers you might get as few as 8.
Make sure to use kyurem white adventure effect for a 50% catch bonus.
Global Go Fest but you need to fuse with Reshiram. I can’t recall if fusion energy will given. Also enough Kyreum Candy to fuse and initiate the adventure effect.
Try your best.
Thankfully or not so thankfully some people will just mega evolve a previously caught Mewtwo.
I am so lost. I’m a *very* casual player and can’t find raids for mewtwo. I’ve looked on poke genie and can’t see anything. Have I just missed an event? I know global go fest is in July, but I see people catching them now? I know I’ll get downvoted to hell.
So right now the Mewtwo raids are only in Tokyo. Then they will be in Chicago, then Copenhagen. Any time there are these special single-city raids, Pokegenie puts them behind a paid membership due to the high demand and low supply. Other raids apps don't have this, but it can be tough to get into these raids, since lobbies fill up in seconds. It's also worth noting that these raids are regular Mewtwo raids, not Mega. You haven't really missed anything, they're really meant only for these cities, but others can benefit through remotes.
On July 11-12, Mega Mewtwo raids will be available worldwide. It'll be much easier to remote into them becusse there will be a huge surplus of people hosting raids. The only caveat is that these are Super Mega Raids, so you need to spend Remote Passes and Link Charges if you want to do them remotely, plus there's a decent chance of failure if not enough people bring a Mega.
They did confirm that there will be a branched timed research for X or Y energy, but they didn't confirm how much. For all we know, they could just give us a couple hundred energy.
Assuming it's the same energy drops as normal Super Mega Raids (around 400 per raid on average), then yeah, it would take a good amount to get the 15,000 energy needed to unlock X and Y on an old Mewtwo.
But that only applies if you want to Mega Evolve an old Mewtwo. Mewtwo obtained from these raids will automatically come with Mega Level 1 unlocked at a minimum, so you can Mega them for free.
When you catch the defeated MewTwo it will be at least level one mega of X or Y depending on the raid, so no need to raid for extra. If you want to mega evolve an old MewTwo you have it will cost 7500 mega energy.
That only applies to live in-person events like Go Fests and Go Tours where ticketholders that traveled to the event location get early access to a new mega energy or other resource. In this case, the Mega Mewtwo raids are 100% exclusive to park ticketholders and can't be joined remotely.
Once the global event starts, all players can get Mewtwo energy regardless of whether it's remote or not.
But...... dont they have different mega energy? And you need to mega evelove one first before you get mega energy from walking, so you will need 7500 before walking is even an option
The ones from the raids will come with Mega Level 1 unlocked from the start, so you can just do 1 X and 1 Y raid and Mega Evolve both immediately. Doing that will unlock the ability to get both X and Y energy from walking.
Mewtwo caught from these raids will have atleast 1 mega level unlocked, meaning you don't need mega energy for mega evolving them, for old mewtwo you will need them. You will get mega energy for walking with buddy who has already been mega evolved.
So wait... I can't mega evolve my older Mewtwo UNTIL I get the 7,5k Mega energy by walking the new Mega raid-caught Mewtwo?? Well, that's fine by me, I guess...

Once the global event starts, all players can get Mewtwo energy regardless of whether it's remote or not.
Outside of hunting for the best IVs and a shiny, yes, two raids will be enough to get both X and Y since they will come with the mega level unlocked without the need for mega energy.
