You can’t swap ETH for “MegaETH” yet in the way you’re thinking—and that matters for the gas token question.
Key point:
On Ethereum, gas is always paid in Ether. That includes swaps done through wallets like MetaMask when you’re using the Ethereum mainnet.

About “MegaETH”
If you mean MegaETH, it’s an upcoming high-performance L2 concept.
As of now, there is no official widely tradable “MEGAETH” token on mainnet.
Any token claiming to be “MegaETH” is very likely:
unofficial
or potentially malicious
---
What gas token would be used?
It depends on the network:
Ethereum mainnet:
→ Gas = ETH
Layer 2 (future MegaETH, if/when live):
→ Most Ethereum L2s still use ETH as gas, even if they have their own token
---
Important warning
If you found a “MegaETH” token in a DEX:
It is not guaranteed to be legitimate
Swapping into it could:
drain your wallet (via malicious contracts)
or leave you with a worthless token
---
Bottom line
You will pay gas in ETH
You likely should not swap into “MegaETH” right now unless you have verified it from official sources
---
If you want, share the exact token contract or where you saw it (DEX, Twitter, etc.), and I can check whether it’s safe or a scam.
