- Mega Rayquaza and Shadow Moltres lead as the best Pheromosa counters.
- Pheromosa can be a challenging solo raid for skilled trainers; groups are recommended.
- Non-Shiny Pheromosa with 100% IVs found at CP 1624 or 2030 when weather boosted.
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 Ultra Beast Pheromosa in Tier Five Raids. Let's get into it.
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
- Rayquaza: Air Slash, Dragon Ascent
- Shadow Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
- Shadow Ho-Oh: Flying-type Hidden Power, Brave Bird
- Mega Pidgeot: Gust, Brave Bird
- Yveltal: Gust, Oblivion Wing
- Moltres: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
- Shadow Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Drill Peck
- Shadow Staraptor: Gust, Fly
- Shadow Apex Lugia: Extrasensory, Aeroblast+
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.
- 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
- Therian Forme Tornadus: Gust, Hurricane
- Incarnate Forme Tornadus: Air Slash, Hurricane
- Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Drill Peck
- Hawlucha: Wing Attack, Sky Attack
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.
Shiny Odds & 100% IVs
Pheromosa cannot currently be encountered in its Shiny form. 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.
