Hi, Trainers
I know you want to be more than just a player… You want to EXCEL! No, I'm not talking about spreadsheets(Sorry for disappointing). I'm talking about nailing Pokémon Go! For this reason, I'm bringing you…
...THE TOP 5 BEST POKÉMONS FOR YOUR PVE!
Let's GO!
...But not yet
If you are a newbie, maybe you still don't know what PVE means, so let's get this solved first: PVE means Player vs. Environment. Sometimes you'll fight against the Team Go Rocket or even at Raids and Gyms, in these situations you'll be playing a PVE battle.
How Do I get MEGA ENERGY?
Specific Field Research or in Mega Raids.
ALRIGHT! So…
LET'S GO!
5. MEGA SLOWBRO

Mega Slowbro doesn't change its own type after Mega evolving, which isn't necessary, since Lowbro's typing already includes great resistance and excellent Moves for a PVE, but still this Mega Evolution increases its CP from a "meh" 2545 to an impressive 3755!
