Top Reshiram Counters

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

  • Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
  • Primal Groudon: Dragon Tail, Precipice Blades
  • Mega Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Shadow Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Rock Wrecker
  • Mega Salamence: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Shadow Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Shadow Salamence: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Mega Tyranitar: Smack Down, Stone Edge
  • Shadow Dragonite: Dragon Tail, Outrage

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.

  • Groudon: Dragon Tail, Precipice Blades
  • Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
  • Haxorus: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
  • Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Rock Wrecker
  • Dialga: Dragon Breath, Draco Meteor
  • Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
  • Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Salamence: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Zekrom: Dragon Breath, Outrage
  • Terrakion: Smack Down, Rock Slide

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Reshiram can be defeated with three trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have four or more players. Note, though, that with the right weather and luck, a duo is possible… but improbable. 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.

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