With a maximum CP of 2,757 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Meganium can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Meganium in 2026.
Meganium's Attack stat is 168 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Meganium to contribute meaningful damage.
With 202 Defense (Excellent) and 190 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 560. This gives Meganium reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Grass-type Pokémon, Meganium's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Meganium depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Razor Leaf (Fast) with Petal Blizzard (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Meganium has 3 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Meganium has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Meganium can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Grass typing provides useful matchups against Water, Electric, Grass-type threats while being weak to Fire, Ice, Poison types.
In Ultra League, Meganium reaches 2,410 CP at Level 40. Its bulk allows it to survive key matchups.
In Master League, Meganium faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
