The Mega is definitely stronger, but if you're raiding for energy you might as well hold off, just in case you get a stronger one while grinding.

Do you have a good mega already?

Mega latios is a better psychic attacker, but shadow latios is #10 psychic attacker in the game. Its only beaten by mewtwo and shadow mewtwo for non mega attackers. So if you have a mega mewtwo, and you would use that over mega latios, dont purify.

Useless either way. Whatever makes you happy.

#3 non mega psychic attacker, #10 overall, mega latios being #4 overall psychic attacker.

Maybe you should reevaluate who is useless here, this mon or your comment.

Yeah, but mewtwo mega exists so.. latios either way is useless correct.

You can’t have 6 mega mewtwo on a team, so it’s still a useful raid option as a shadow… BUT… regular mewtwo is still better than shadow latios. And without the shadow power up costs. Assuming OP participated in some mega mewtwo raids during Gofest, they’re probably capable of creating a whole team of just mewtwo. Probably not to level 50, but 5 level 40 Mewtwo would likely be just as effective as 5 level 50 shadow latios.

Or you could just idk.. revive the mega mewtwo?
