The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Might & Mastery, has now begun. This season continues the focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles with a focus on Kubfu. For the second month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Tapu Lele, Blacephalon, Stakataka, and Cresselia with Shadow Raids featuring Registeel on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Blaziken, Mega Mawile, Mega Sceptile, and Mega Audino. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Stakataka, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Stakataka Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Stakataka counters as such:
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Mega Heracross: Counter, Cross Combat
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Shadow Conkeldurr: Counder, Dynamic Punch
- Shadow Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
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 Stakataka with efficiency.
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Conkeldurr: Counder, Dynamic Punch
- Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Marshadow: Counter, Close Combat
- Breloom: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Incarnate Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Earth Power
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Stakataka can be defeated with two expert 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 Ultra Beasts in Tier Five Raids is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Stakataka will have a CP of 1882 in normal weather conditions and 2353 in boosted conditions.
