The December, January, and February seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Dual Destiny, are concluding this month. This season continues the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles while also gearing up for the global Pokémon GO Tour: Unvoa event. For the final month of Dual Destiny, Tier Five Raids will feature Dialga, Enamorus, Yveltal, and Xerneas, with Shadow Raids featuring Regirock on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Tyranitar and Mega Garchomp. 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
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
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 efficiently.
- 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
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Marshadow: Counter, Close Combat
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Cobalion 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 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.
