Passimian Raid Guide For Pokémon GO Players: 2023 Championships

Our Passimian Raid Guide for Pokémon GO Players will help you build a team to take on this new Fighting-type during the 2023 Championships.

The 2023 Pokémon World Championship Celebration Event has begun in Pokémon GO. It kicked off with a Raid Rotation featuring Mega Gyarados in Mega Raids, Cresselia in Tier Five Raids, and GO Battle League favorites in Tier Three raids. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down the newly released Passimian in Tier Three Raids during this battle-themed event.

Top Passimian Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Passimian counters as such:

• Mega Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
• Shadow Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
• Mega Alakazam: Confusion, Psychic
• Mewtwo: Confusion, Psychic
• Mega Gardevoir: Confusion, Psychic
• Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
• Mega Latios: Zen Headbutt, Psychic
• Shadow Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
• Shadow Latios: Zen Headbutt, Psychic
• Shadow Alakazam: Confusion, Psychic

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 Passimian with efficiency.

• Hoopa Unbound: Confusion, Psychic
• Lunala: Confusion, Psychic
• Galarian Articuno: Confusion, Brave Bird
• Hoopa Confined: Confusion, Psychic
• Espeon: Confusion, Psychic
• Apex Purified Lugia: Extrasensory, Aeroblast++
• Latios: Zen Headbutt, Psychic
• Alakazam: Confusion, Psychic
• Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
• Azelf: Confusion, Future Site

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Passimian 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 players.

Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.
