We have now entered a new season in Pokémon GO, titled World of Wonders. April continues this season with the Shiny debut of some Ultra Beasts in Raids, a new Mega Evolution unlocked, and Shadow Entei in Shadow Raids during the weekend. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down the Ultra Beast Celesteela, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Celesteela Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Celesteela counters as such:
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm
- Shadow Electivire: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
- Apex Shadow Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Xurkitree: Spark, Discharge
- Shadow Raikou: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
- Shadow Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt
- Shadow Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
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 Celesteela with efficiency.
- Zekrom: Charge Beam, Fusion Bolt
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Raikou: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Zapdos: Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt
- Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Celesteela can be defeated with two trainers, but it will be difficult. I recommend you bring three Trainers minimum and 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. 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 Celesteela will have a CP of 1772 in normal weather conditions and 2216 in boosted conditions.
