Tapu Lele Raid Guide for Pokémon GO: Might & Mastery

With this Raid Guide, you can build a team of counters with the best attacks to defeat Tapu Lele Five-Star Raids in Pokémon GO.

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 Tapu Lele, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.

Top Tapu Lele Counters

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

• Dusk Mane Necrozma: Metal Claw, Sunsteel Strike
• Dawn Wings Necrozma: Metal Claw, Moongeist Beam
• Shadow Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
• Mega Gengar: Lick, Sludge Bomb
• Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
• Shadow Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
• Mega Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
• Shadow Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball
• Shadow Chandelure: Hex, Shadow Ball

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 Tapu Lele with efficiency.

• Gholdengo: Hex, Shadow Ball
• Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Force
• Nihilego: Poison Jab, Sludge Bomb
• Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
• Origin Forme Dialga: Metal Claw, Iron Head
• White Kyurem: Steel Wing, Ice Burn
• Chandelure: Hex, Shadow Ball
• Melmetal: Thunder Shock, Double Iron Bash
• Black Kyurem: Shadow Claw, Freeze Shock
• Hoopa Confined: Astonish, Shadow Ball

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Tapu Lele 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 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 Tapu Lele will have a CP of 1996 in normal weather conditions and 2496 in boosted conditions.
