The June, July, and August season of Pokémon GO, titled Shared Skies, has begun. It now continues with a Pokémon GO Fest 2024-focused slate of Ultra Beasts. We will see Guzzlord, Nihilego, Celesteela, Kartana, Stakataka, Blacephalon, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Articuno, and Incarnate Forme Tornadus in Tier Five Raids, while Mega Swampert and Mega Aggron return to Mega Raids. In addition to that, we will see Shadow Entei get its chance to shine in Shadow Raids on the weekends. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Celesteela, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Celesteela Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Celesteela counters as such:
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
- Xurkitree: Spark, Discharge
- Apex Shadow Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Shadow Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Shadow Raikou: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
- Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
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 Celesteela with efficiency.
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
- Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystical Fire
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Raikou: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Celesteela can be defeated with two 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 three 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. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
The Shiny rate for Tier Five Raid Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Celesteela will have a CP of 1772 in normal weather conditions and 2216 in boosted conditions.
