A new season titled Timeless Travel has begun in Pokémon GO. This Hisui-focused season begins with an Ice-, Steel-, and Dragon-focused December 2023. This month, we have the return of the Unova Dragons to Tier Five Raids, Steel- and Ice-type Megas, and special Raid Day events featuring Hisuian Pokémon. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Kyurem in Tier Five Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Kyurem Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Kyurem counters as such:
- Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Dazzling Gleam
- Mega Gardevoir: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Rhyperior: Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
- Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Primal Groudon: Dragon Tail, Precipice Blades
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 Kyurem with efficiency.
- Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Dialga: Metal Claw, Draco Meteor
- Rhyperior: Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
- Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Zacian: Metal Claw, Play Rough
- Genesect: Metal Claw, Magnet Bomb
- Xerneas: Geomancy, Moonblast
- Cobalion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Melmetal: Thunder Shock, Double Iron Bash
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Kyurem 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 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 Kyurem will have a CP of 2042 in normal weather conditions and 2553 in boosted conditions.
