Top Pheromosa Counters

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

  • Mega Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
  • Shadow Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
  • Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
  • Shadow Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
  • Shadow Salamence: Fire Fang, Fly
  • Shadow Ho-Oh: Flying-type Hidden Power, Brave Bird
  • Mega Salamence: Fire Fang, Fly
  • Enamorous: Fairy Wind, Fly
  • Mega Pidgeot: Gust, Brave Bird
  • Yveltal: Gust, Oblivion Wing
  • Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack

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 Pheromosa with efficiency.

  • Salamence: Fire Fang, Fly
  • Ho-Oh: Flying-type Hidden Power, Brave Bird
  • Braviary: Air Slash, Fly
  • Purified Apex Lugia: Extrasensory, Aeroblast++
  • Hisuian Braviary: Air Slash, Brave Bird
  • Galarian Articuno: Psycho Cut, Brave Bird
  • Staraptor: Gust, Fly
  • Incarnate Forme Tornadus: Air Slash, Hurricane
  • Therian Forme Tornadus: Gust, Hurricane
  • Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Drill Peck

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Pheromosa can be defeated by a single Trainer who comes in at the top of their game, but it will be a difficult fight. 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. 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 Pheromosa will have a CP of 1624 in normal weather conditions and 2030 in boosted conditions.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
