The June, July, and September season of Pokémon GO, titled Delightful Days, has now begun. This season will focus on the build-up and aftermath of the global Pokémon GO Fest 2025 mega event. For the first month of Delightful Days, Tier Five Raids will feature Tapu Bulu, Groudon, Kyogre, and Cobalion with Shadow Raids featuring Regice on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Abomasnow, Mega Manectric, Mega Beedrill, and Mega Aggron. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Cobalion, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. 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:
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Mega Heracross: Counter, Close Combat
- Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
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.
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Blacephalon: Incinerate, Mystical Fire
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Rapid Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Single Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Cobalion can be defeated by a pair of 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 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.
