Pokémon Go Axew counters, weaknesses and how to get Axew during Go Fest 2022 Finale

How to get Axew during Go Fest 2022 Finale in Pokémon Go

Go Fest 2022 Finale is a great event for anyone who’s had trouble adding Axew to their Pokédex in Pokémon Go, because there are a number of ways - whether you’ve bought a Go Fest ticket or not - to catch this elusive Pokémon.

Axew will be appearing more frequently during the Ultra Incursion: Buzzwole hours, which runs between 12pm to 2pm (local time).

Axew will also be appearing in one-star raids from 10am to 6pm (local time).

We highly recommend using Pinap Berries to catch Axew to double the amount of candy you’ll receive, because, due to it being such a rarity outside of Go Fest 2022 Finale event, there’s a good chance you don’t have much Axew candy. Doing this will help you gather enough candy to complete its evolution - 125 in total - and power Axew up if you wish.

You may also want to use Silver Pinap Berries if you have any going spare.

Axew’s 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go

Go Fest 2022 Finale event is the perfect time to catch an Axew with perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go.

An Axew with perfect 100% IV stats can be evolved into a powerful Haxorus. While creating this Haxorus does involve quite the candy investment - both in the terms of evolving Axew and powering it up - once you’ve completed this task, it will be an excellent choice for the Master League, raids and battling in Gyms.

The CP values that correspond to perfect 15/15/15 values are as follows:

• Level 30 (wild CP maximum) - 1173 CP
• Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) - 1271 CP

The wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach Level 30 and, due to the majority of the player base now being above this level, we’ve kept to these values for the sake of simplicity. These values will, however, differ if you’re currently below Level 30.

The Dual Destiny Season is here! The Young and Wise is currently running. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
