Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Reshiram, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Reshiram Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Reshiram counters as such:
- Eternatus: Dragon Tail, Dynamax Cannon
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Mega Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Primal Groudon: Dragon Tail, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Origin Forme Dialga: Dragon Breath, Roar of Time
- Shadow Groudon: Dragon Tail, Precipice Blades
- Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
- Mega Salamence: Dragon Tail, Outrage
- Shadow Regigigas: Rock-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
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 Reshiram with efficiency.
- Black Kyurem: Dragon Tail, Freeze Shock
- Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Origin Forme Palkia: Dragon Tail, Spacial Rend
- Haxorus: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Groudon: Dragon Tail, Precipice Blades
- Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Dialga: Dragon Breath, Draco Meteor
- Dragapult: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Regigigas: Rock-type Hidden Power, Crush Grip
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Reshiram can be defeated by two trainers. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three 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 Reshiram will have a CP of 2307 in normal weather conditions and 2884 in boosted conditions.
Road to Kalos Background
Trainers will have a chance of catching Primal Kyogre with a Road to Kalos background exclusive to this event. Be sure to check your Reshiram after you catch it!
