Pokémon GO Fest Wind Hour: Altered Forme Giratina 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 Wind Hour: Altered Forme Giratina. (While one of each Legendary will be in raid, all Formes will not appear. Origin Forme Giratina will not be available, meaning that this will be the only Forme of Giratina that you will be able to battle during GO Fest 2021.)

Other Legendary Pokémon with shared weaknesses
Altered Forme Giratina is a dual Ghost/Dragon-type Pokémon, so it has a larger spread of weaknesses that others won't have. Due to this, we will focus on its Dragon-typing for this section, which will yield more overlap. For these, use Dragon-types and Ice-types from the above list rather than the Dark-types and Ghost-types.
- Latias
- Latios
- Zekrom
- Rayquaza
