How to catch Mega Scizor in Pokemon GO’s Bug Out!
Here we are, Trainers. There are a few things you have to do to catch the newest Mega Scizor. Starting with waiting for the event as Pokemon GO Bug Out! begins on August 10, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to August 16, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
- Just a piece of information, Pokemon Scizor’s evolution of Pokemon Scyther. It’s a Bug- and Steel-type but its Mega evolution belongs to the Bug-type. A few things do not mean easy things, so be ready to face numerous Pokemon for this one!
- To catch the Mega Scizor, you first have to join Mega Raids. If you’re not familiar with Mega Raids, it joins Trainers together to defeat a single Raid Boss. Yes, if you’re thinking about Mega Scizor as the Raid Boss, you’re right.
- Second information, you have to know the location where to face the Mega Pokemon. You can make use of the Nearby feature of Pokemon GO to search for available Raids. However, if you accept a friend’s invitation to a Mega raid, you can join wherever your location is (and vice versa too, invite them!).
- Moreover, when an available Mega Raid takes place, you can join them in two possible ways. First, you can simply tap Battle where you’re automatically joined by other Trainers. On the other hand, you can play and face Mega Scizor with your group of friends when you choose “Join Privately”.

- Continuing the Mega Raid, once you join, you’ll choose six Pokemon to play with. It’s quite impossible to defeat the Mega evolutions on your own, so teaming up with other Trainers is the best way. It takes ample time to defeat the Raid Boss, but if you’re successful you can earn rewards like Rare Candy or Golden Razz Berries. And yes, you can eventually use your Premier Balls to catch Mega Scizor before it flees!
- If you lose, unfortunately, you have to have another Raid Pass so you can join and try again. You have chances to get the Mega Pokemon so make the most out of it!
Mega Scizor and more Pokemons in Bug Out! event
