How to get Mega Slowbro in Pokemon Go

Like other Mega Evolutions in the game, trainers can obtain Mega Slowbro by collecting Mega Energy and using it on a Slowbro. The quickest way to get this energy is by defeating Mega Slowbro during Pokemon Go Raids.

You can also obtain Mega Energy by setting a Pokemon that has already been Mega Evolved in the past as your buddy. Certain Research Tasks can also provide players with Mega Energy.

Keep in mind that Mega Evolutions are temporary, so you’ll need a steady supply of Mega Energy if you want your Mega Slowbro to keep its form more consistently.

Can Mega Slowbro be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Mega Slowbro can be shiny in Pokemon Go. You can get one by capturing a shiny Mega Slowbro after you’ve defeated it in a raid or by Mega Evolving a shiny Slowbro.

A Mega Slowbro usually has a pink body and a grey shell but shiny Mega Slowbro has a purple body with a light brown shell. Regular Slowbro also follows this colour scheme.
