The Season of Timeless Travel that kicked off in early December now continues in Pokémon GO. With December's Dragon- and Ice-themed month of Raids wrapping, January kicks off 2024 with Ultra Beasts and the Therian Legendaries in Tier Five Raids as well as a rotating slate of Mega Raids. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down the Party Hat Wobbuffet in Tier Three Raids during the New Year's 2024 Event. Let's get into it.
Top Party Hat Wobbuffet Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Party Hat Wobbuffet counters as such:
- Shadow Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Mega Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Shadow Absol: Snarl, Payback
- Mega Absol: Snarl, Payback
- Mega Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Crunch
- Shadow Chandelure: Incinerate, Shadow Ball
- Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Crunch
- Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
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 Party Hat Wobbuffet with efficiency.
- Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
- Pheromosa: Bug Bite, Bug Buzz
- Chandelure: Hex, Poltergeist
- Gengar: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Regigigas: Ghost-type Hidden Power, Giga Impact
- Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
- Zoroark: Snarl, Foul Play
- Absol: Snarl, Payback
- Honchkrow: Snarl, Dark Pulse
- Sharpedo: Bite, Crunch
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Party Hat Wobbuffet can be defeated with one Trainer, 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.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for this event-themed Pokémon is not known but likely boosted.
