The Ultra Beasts Kartana and Celesteela return to Raids in Pokémon GO this April. Defeat Kartana using these top counters and attacks.
Article Summary
- Ultra Beast Kartana appears in Raids in Pokémon GO’s World of Wonders season.
- Top counters for Kartana include Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blaziken, and Reshiram.

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 Kartana, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Kartana Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Kartana counters as such:
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Apex Shadow Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Shadow Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Mega Charizard X: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Shadow Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Shadow Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Shadow Charizard: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Shadow Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
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 Kartana with efficiency.
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Emboar: Ember, Blast Burn
- Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Kartana can be defeated with two 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 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 Pokémon in Tier Five raids is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Kartana will have a CP of 2101 in normal weather conditions and 2626 in boosted conditions.
Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
