Pokémon GO Fest Frost Hour: Lake Trio Raid Guide Mini

The road to GO Fest 2021 has begun. On Sunday, July 18th, 2021, the second day of GO Fest in Pokémon GO, every Legendary Pokémon that has ever been in raids will return for a block of battles during the day. As we count down the days until the event launches, Bleeding Cool will host a series of mini raid guides that offers the top 10 overall counters and then the top 10 non-Shadow and non-Mega counters. In addition to this, these guides will point out species with shared weaknesses so that you can create raid squads with multiple uses. Finally, each guide ends with a breakdown of the raid schedule for GO Fest 2021: Day Two. This guide will focus on Frost Hour: Lake Trio.

Top 10 Counters

Note that Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie are three different Pokémon. They have HUGE overlap in weaknesses, as they're all Psychic-types, so this can be used for all three of them. However, unlike the other species that have their own separate raid guide, this guide combines their lists into one functional list to make GO Fest 2021 easier for players.

Overall:

1. Mega Gengar: Lick, Shadow Ball
2. Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play
3. Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Crunch
4. Shadow Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball
5. Mega Gyarados: Bite, Crunch
6. Darkrai: Snarl, Dark Pulse
7. Shadow Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
8. Chandelure: Hex, Shadow Ball
9. Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
