7 In Pokémon GO, Mega Beedrill will now be able to use a “+” version of Fell Stinger after it Mega Evolves — but this move will only be accessible while Beedrill remains Mega Evolved. 3 The attack’s power increases with Beedrill’s Mega Level, making it a genuine reason to grind for that Super Max Mega Level as fast as possible.

Is Mega Beedrill with Fell Stinger+ Any Good?
Short answer: Yes — absolutely!4 Mega Beedrill was not the best Bug raid attacker, but with the Mega Squads Event, Mega Beedrill gets access to Fell Stinger+ — allowing it to function as the #1 Bug Attacker, dishing out damage fast and consistently. 6 The best moves for Mega Beedrill in Pokémon GO are Bug Bite and Fell Stinger+, with a DPS of 22.24 and a TDO (Total Damage Output) of 347.35. 6 Mega Beedrill ranks #1 (S Tier) as a Bug attacker with that moveset. 4 On the Poison side, Mega Beedrill runs Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb — the numbers back it up, and it ranks among the very best Poison Attackers in the game.
⚠️ Honest Caveat: 4The only problem is the lack of relevance that Bug types have in the overall meta — anything a Bug type can do, some other type can do more efficiently.
