How to Get Mega Gengar and Shiny Mega Gengar in Pokémon Go

You can get a Mega Ganger in Pokémon Go by catching a regular Gengar after a Raid Battle and then Mega-evolving it with 200 Mega energy. Players can participate in the Raid Battles to catch the Gengar Raid Boss from the 6^th of October, 2023, to the 20^th of October, 2023.  

Players can get a shiny Mega Gengar by catching a shiny Gengar and then later evolving it into a shiny Mega Gengar. Winning a single Raid Battle will not guarantee the encounter of Shiny type, and instead, you have to compete in multiple raid battles to get the shiny variant. Once encountered, the shiny Gengar can be evolved into a shiny Mega Gengar with 200 Mega Energy.
