Mega Pokémon that boost Ferroseed

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Ferroseed if they are Mega/Primal evolved.

A Note on Mega Catch Bonus

While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Is it worth evolving Ferroseed?

PVE

It’s very bulky but lacks the offensive power to create any form of impact .

Raids – Leave it on the bench. Let it hang out on walls. But don’t bring it to Raids .

Gyms – Its impressive bulk comes to play here and makes Ferrothorn a good Gym defender. That said, remember that it’s double weak to Fire-type attacks.

PVP

Ferrothorn is a good PvP Pokémon thanks to its high bulk complementing its 10 resistances .

That’s not all, as it also has a good moveset to boot, making it a terrifying threat .

Great League – Ferrothorn is a crazy strong Great League Pokémon that takes advantage of the high energy gains from Bullet Seed to punish opponents with Power Whip.

As a second Charged Move, you’re spoilt for choice with options like the hard-hitting Thunder, the unpredictable Flash Cannon, or the opponent DEF debuffing Acid Spray .

Overall, you’re going to have a great time using Ferrothorn in battle!

Ultra League – While still good in the Ultra League, it loses some shine due to the presence of more Fire and Fighting types in this format.

Master League – It looks like a Grass-type cosplay of Metagross, but unlike the Pseudo Legendary, Ferrothorn is plain bad in the Master League .
