Top Butterfree Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top 10 Butterfree counters as such:

  • Mega Aerodactyl – Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Rampardos – Smack Down, Rock Slide
  • Shadow Tyranitar – Smack Down, Stone Edge
  • Rhyperior – Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
  • Shadow Aerodactyl – Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Terrakion – Smack Down, Rock Slide
  • Gigalith – Smack Down, Meteor Beam
  • Shadow Golem – Rock Throw, Stone Edge
  • Shadow Omastar – Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Tyranitar – Smack Down, Stone Edge

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 Butterfree with efficiency.

  • Landorus – Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Aerodactyl – Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Tyrantrum – Rock Throw, Stone Edge
  • Archeops – Wing Attack, Ancient Power
  • Omastar – Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Midday Form Lycanroc – Rock Throw, Stone Edge
  • Golem – Rock Throw, Stone Edge
  • Alolan Golem – Rock Throw, Stone Edge
  • Hisuian Arcanine – Fire Fang, Rock Slide
  • Midnight Form Lycanroc – Rock Throw, Stone Edge

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Butterfree can be defeated by solo trainers. Be sure that you go in with the best counters. Invest Stardust in your team as well to power them up and suit them with the correct moves.

Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. However, note that using Pinap Berries will offer you more Candy if you can successfully catch using them.

Shiny Odds

Bow Butterfree can be Shiny in Pokémon GO, but its rate is not yet known.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers!
