The March, April, and May season of Pokémon GO, titled Might & Mastery, has now begun. This season continues with a focus on Galar, Max Battles, and Gigantamax Battles, with a focus on Kubfu. For the first month of Might & Mastery, Tier Five Raids will feature Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Tapu Koko, and Heatran, with Shadow Raids featuring Regice on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Lucario, Mega Swampert, and Mega Pinsir. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Tapu Koko, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Tapu Koko Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Tapu Koko counters as such:
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Mega Gengar: Lick, Sludge Bomb
- Shadow Mamoswine: Mud-Slap, High Horsepower
- Shadow Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
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 efficiently take down Tapu Koko.
- Nihilego: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Naganadel: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
- Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Sunsteel Strike
- Mamoswine: Mud-Slap, High Horsepower
- Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Incarnate Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Moongeist Beam
- Overqwil: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Tapu Koko 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 Legendary Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Tapu Koko will have a CP of 1810 in normal weather conditions and 2263 in boosted conditions.
