The September, October, and November season of Pokémon GO, titled Tales of Transformation, continues this month. This season focuses on Mega Evolution, Gigantamax power-ups, and form changing. For the third and final month of Tales of Transformation, Five-Star Raids will feature Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Heatran, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Beedrill, Mega Pinsir, Mega Heracross, Mega Tyranitar, Mega Altaria, Mega Ampharos, Mega Manectric, Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Medicham, and Mega Garchomp. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Entei, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Entei Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Entei counters as such:
- Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Swampert: Mud Shot, Hydro Cannon
- Shadow Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Regigigas: Water-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Mega Blastoise: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
- Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
- Shadow Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Rock Wrecker
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 Entei with efficiency.
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
- Eternatus: Poison Jab, Dynamax Cannon
- Quaquaval: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Rock Wrecker
- Regigigas: Water-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
- Greninja: Water Shuriken, Hydro Cannon
- Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
- Kingler: Bubble, Crabhammer
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Entei can be defeated by two trainers. 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 Entei will have a CP of 1984 in normal weather conditions and 2480 in boosted conditions.
