Ampharos is usually a sole Electric-type Pokémon, but its Mega evolution in Pokémon GO gains an interesting Dragon-typing. This gives it a decent list of resistances but also some new and exploitable vulnerabilities. Because of these typings, players will perform best in a raid battle using IceFairyDragon, or Ground-type attacks. The types to avoid using when battling Mega Ampharos are FireGrassWaterSteelElectric, and Flying-type moves.
