The September, October, and November seasons of Pokémon GO, titled Max Out, have now been announced. This season will focus on Galar, introducing Dynamax Pokémon and Max Battles. October is all about spooky Pokémon, and the raid rotation shows that. Tier Five Raids will feature Origin Forme Giratina and Darkrai, with Shadow Raids featuring Entei on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Blaziken, Mega Sableye, and Mega Banette. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Origin Forme Giratina, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Origin Forme Giratina Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Origin Forme Giratina counters as such:
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Shadow Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Mega Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Outrage
- Origin Forme Dialga: Dragon Breath, Roar of Time
- Mega Gengar: Lick, Shadow Ball
- Origin Forme Palkia: Dragon Tail, Spacial Rend
- Mega Salamence: Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor
- Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
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 efficiently take down Origin Forme Giratina.
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Shadow Claw, Moongeist Beam
- Haxorus: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Dragapult: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Dialga: Dragon Breath, Draco Meteor
- Hydreigon: Dragon Breath, Brutal Swing
- Kyurem: Dragon Breath, Glaciate
- Darkrai: Snarl, Shadow Ball
- Tapu Lele: Astonish, Nature's Madness
- Salamence: Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Origin Forme Giratina 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 Origin Forme Giratina will have a CP of 2105 in normal weather conditions and 2631 in boosted conditions.
