Mega Evolution is one of the central features in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, allowing you to temporarily make some of your Pokémon larger, stronger, and sporting a great new look. These battles often rely heavily on your ability to dodge attacks and lead your Pokémon away from incoming damage, while carefully selecting the right moves to use against your opponent.

### How to Beat Rogue Mega Slowbro in Pokémon Legends: Z-A
By the time you face Rogue Mega Slowbro, you might not have a wide range of options to counter it. However, one very important Pokémon you should have available is **Absol**.
Mega Slowbro is weak to Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost, and Dark type moves. If you chose Chikorita as your starter, you might be in luck! Assuming you’ve leveled up your Chikorita and obtained the appropriate Mega Stone, you can Mega Evolve it, giving you two solid options to switch between during the battle.
Keep in mind, you don’t necessarily need a Mega-Evolved Pokémon to deal damage to Slowbro, but it certainly helps turn the tide of the fight.

### Recommended Moves and Strategy for Absol
Equip Absol with the following moves to maximize your damage output:
– **Night Slash**
– **Slash**
– **Swords Dance** (for boosting attack power)
– **Shadow Claw**
Be cautious of positioning during the fight. Many of Slowbro’s attacks can track your movements, and it uses a whirlpool attack that deals significant area-of-effect damage. The good news is this whirlpool attack is telegraphed well in advance, making it easier to dodge.
Avoid relying on Fire, Water, Ice, Fighting, or Steel-type Pokémon in this battle. Slowbro resists these types and will shrug off most damage from them.

### Timing Your Moves
Be strategic with your **Plus Moves**. Look for openings when Slowbro commits to longer animation attacks, such as its powerful beam attack. These moments provide a perfect chance to unleash charge attacks and deal massive damage.
By focusing on dodging and careful timing, you’ll have a much easier time defeating Rogue Mega Slowbro and progressing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
