Which Pokemon To Mega Evolve During the Inbound from Ultra Space Event

With multiple Ultra Beasts featured in this event, it is wise to mega evolve Pokemon accordingly. As such, here are our suggestions:

  • For Guzzlord, a mega evolved Houndoom (for its Dark typing) or Salamence (for its Dragon typing).
  • For Nihilego, a mega evolved Venusaur or Beedrill works for its Poison typing.
  • For both Celesteela, a mega evolved Rayquaza (for its Flying typing) or a Mega Scizor (for its Steel typing) would work best.
  • For Kartana, a mega evolved Sceptile (for its Grass typing) or a Mega Steelix (for its Steel typing).
  • For Stakataka, consider mega evolving a Mega Aerodactyl (for its Rock typing) or a Nega Aggron (for its Steel typing).
  • For Blacephalon, choose either a Primal Groudon or Mega Charizard X or Y (for its Fire typing). Other options include Mega Sableye or Mega Gengar (for its Ghost typing).
  • For both Buzzwole and Pheromosa, a Mega Heracross is the most optimal choice but you can also opt for a Mega Pinsir or Mega Beedrill, all for their Bug typings.
  • For Xurkitree, choose Primal Kyogre or a Mega Ampharos for their Electric typing.

Basically, go for the same typing of the Ultra Beast that you want to hunt for that sweet extra catch candy bonus.
