Moveset analysis
For raids and gyms, Mega Gallade runs Charm with Close Combat — 15.5 DPS and 276 TDO as a Fairy-type attacker. It also covers the Psychic slot with Confusion and Psychic.
In Master League it runs Psycho Cut and Close Combat. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.
The highest-damage fast move is Charm (13.3 DPS); Psycho Cut builds energy fastest (14 EPS). Synchronoise is an Elite TM move and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Is Mega Gallade good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
Mega Gallade is a Tier A Fairy-type attacker at rank #5, so the Stardust pays for itself in raid damage. Take it to level 40 first; XL Candy to 50 only matters once you already have a full team of six.
- Attack is its highest stat (326), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Cloudy and Windy weather — worth timing raids around.

Mega Gallade's best moveset is Charm (fast) with Close Combat (charged), worth 15.5 DPS as a Fairy-type attacker. Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
For PvP, run Psycho Cut and Close Combat instead — league movesets prioritise energy generation and shield pressure over raw DPS.
What are Mega Gallade's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

What is Mega Gallade's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Mega Gallade reaches 5,112 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 4,521 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
Is Mega Gallade good for PvP in Pokemon GO?
Mega Gallade is ranked #6 (Tier A) in Master League with a 73.61% win rate.
In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Master League is 15/15/15 rather than a hundo.
Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Mega Gallade bait shields instead of committing to one attack.

A perfect 15/15/15 Mega Gallade shows 2,583 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 3,230 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
