With Raid Passes being a limited resource, and often difficult and pricey to come by, you will want to make sure you're going into this Raid with all the necessary preparations.

Recommended Group Size
Do not attempt Mega Ampharos's Mega Raid on your own, presenting far too much difficulty to successfully complete it solo. When planning on taking on this Raid, make sure to group up with other Pokemon Go players, whether it be those you are raiding with in-person, or those you invite remotely.
To comfortably have enough firepower to successfully defeat Mega Ampharos in this Raid, make sure to go into it with a group size of at least three to five Trainers. It is recommended that make sure to put together a group of this size prior to attempting this Raid so you are not wasting a Raid Pass on a failed attempt.
If you are having questions about the chances of your Raid group succeeding, Mega Evolve or Primal Revert one of the Pokemon you're bringing to this Raid battle.
This will add a boost to you and your allies' attacks if they match the type of the Mega Evolved or Primal Reverted Pokemon.
Mega Ampharos: Strengths And Weaknesses
Mega Ampharos is an Electric and Dragon dual-type Pokemon, a unique combination that provides it with several vulnerabilities and resistances when in battle.
This specific typing grants Mega Ampharos with six different resistances on the battlefield. This includes attacks that are Electric, Fire, Flying, Grass, Steel, or Water-type, dealing reduced damage to this specific opponent. Avoid using attacks of these types in this Raid battle to ensure that you are effective.
To maximize your contribution in this Raid battle, it is best to use Pokemon equipped with Dragon, Fairy, Ground, or Ice-type attacks. Mega Ampharos is weak against these four attack types, causing them to deal increased damage in battle.
It is best to battle with Pokemon that will benefit from the Same Type Attack Bonus mechanic, increasing a Pokemon's attack damage in any battle.
To benefit from this bonus, use Pokemon that have attacks that match at least one of their types.

The most important step when it comes to your Raid preparations is putting together a team of Pokemon that will perform well on the battlefield, and this is no different for Mega Ampharos's Mega Raid.
To maximize your Raid group's chances of success, you will want to use a selection of Pokemon that directly counter Mega Ampharos. This means battling with powerful Pokemon with either Dragon, Fairy, Ground, or Ice-type attacks, dealing far more damage than attacks of any other type.
Finding the best Pokemon to counter Mega Ampharos may be difficult with there being countless options currently available in Pokemon, so we have put together a list of the strongest Mega Ampharos counters to use in this Raid battle, provided for you below.
Although they are the best options, you can still complete this Raid using Pokemon other than the ones provided below.
If you cannot use these top-tier Mega Ampharos counters, put together a team of different powerful Dragon, Fairy, Ground, and Ice-type Pokemon.
