Top Hisuian Samurott Counters

These are the top ten Hisuian Samurott counters:

  • Mega Sceptile: Fury Cutter, Frenzy Plant
  • Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
  • Mega Gardevoir: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
  • Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
  • Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
  • Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
  • Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Discharge
  • Shadow Magnezone: Spark, Wild Charge
  • Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge

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 Hisuian Samurott with efficiency.

  • Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
  • Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
  • Zekrom: Charge Beam, Wild Charge
  • Pheromosa: Bug Bite, Bug Buzz
  • Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
  • Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Thunderbolt
  • Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
  • Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
  • Magnezone: Spark, Wild Charge
  • Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Hisuian Samurott can be defeated by solo 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 two 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. While you cannot evolve a Dewott into Hisuai Samurott, it is still considered an evolved form, so it will yield extra Candy if caught with a Pinap Berry.

Shiny Odds

The Shiny rate for Raid Day Pokémon is historically around one in ten, but we never know before the event starts if Niantic will stick to that rate.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
