Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Houndoom in Mega Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Houndoom Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Houndoom counters as such:
- Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Swampert: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
- Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
- Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Terrakion: Double Kikc, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
- Shadow Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Rock Wrecker
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
- Mega Blastoise: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
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 Mega Houndoom with efficiency.
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Rock Wrecker
- Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
- Greninja: Water Shuriken, Hydro Cannon
- Tyrantrum: Rock Throw, Meteor Beam
- Swampert: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
- Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Houndoom 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.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
