I'm still sitting on 8,600 Delphox Mega Energy because I couldn't find a Fennekin good enough

How was your Mega Finale? Going by discussion online, middling to terrible - with reports of poor shiny rates, network issues resulting in seemingly impossible to resolve compensation, and the threat of yet another Mewtwo event before the year is out.

I couldn't play much over the weekend so I can't judge it fairly, but my experience revolves around one simple goal: to come away with a decent Mega Delphox, which is currently (and will be for the foreseeable) the best Fire-type attacker in the game - even more so at Mega Level 4.

But the problem with offering up one of the best Fire-type Pokémon and giving you enough Mega Energy through the Deluxe Go Pass to fully level it is you want to make sure it's just right - and thanks for the aforementioned poor shiny rates, I'm still searching.
