Article Summary
- Top counters for Cobalion Raid include Primal Groudon and Mega Blaziken.
- A minimum of three trainers is advised, but more ensures success.

The final month of Adventures Abound has begun in Pokémon GO. When it comes to Raids, we have the Shiny release of Douse Drive Genesect as well as the return of the Legendary Swords of Justice, new and old features coming to Mega Raids, and Mega Garchomp Raid Day. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Cobalion in Tier Five Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Cobalion Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Cobalion counters as such:
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Blast Burn
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Shadow Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Shadow Blaziken: Counter, Blast Burn
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 Cobalion with efficiency.
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
- Blaziken: Counter, Blast Burn
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Cobalion can be defeated with three 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 four 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 Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Cobalion will have a CP of 1727 in normal weather conditions and 2159 in boosted conditions.
