Bells Stantler Raid Guide For Pokémon GO: Winter Holiday 2023

Solo Trainers can defeat Holiday Bells Stantler during the Pokémon GO: Winter Holiday Event Part One using this Raid Guide.


A new season titled Timeless Travel has begun in Pokémon GO. This Hisui-focused season begins with an Ice-, Steel-, and Dragon-focused December 2023. This month, we have the return of the Unova Dragons to Tier Five Raids, Steel- and Ice-type Megas, and special Raid Day events featuring Hisuian Pokémon. Now, the Holiday Event has begun and features special Pokémon in Tier Three Raids. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Holiday Bells Stantler in Tier Three Raids. Let's get into it.

Top Stantler Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Stantler counters as such:

  • Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
  • Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
  • Shadow Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
  • Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Mega Alakazam: Counter, Focus Blast
  • Shadow Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Shadow Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Stantler with efficiency.

  • Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Pheromosa: Low Kick, Focus Blast
  • Breloom: Counter, Dyamic Punch
  • Galarian Zapdos: Counter, Close Combat
  • Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Buzzwole: Countrer, Superpower
  • Virizion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Cobalion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Hawlucha: Low Kick, Flying Press
  • Heracross: Counter, Close Combat

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Stantler can be defeated by solo trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.

Shiny Odds

The Shiny rate for Holiday Bells Stantler is thought to be boosted but remains unknown.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
