The June, July, and September season of Pokémon GO, titled Delightful Days, has now begun. This season will focus on the build-up and aftermath of the global Pokémon GO Fest 2025 mega event. For the second month of Delightful Days, Five-Star Raids will feature Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Solgaleo, and Lunala, with Shadow Raids featuring Registeel on the weekends. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Charizard X, Mega Blastoise, Mega Venusaur, and Mega Aggron. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Terrakion, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Terrakion Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Terrakion counters as such:
- Crowned Shield Zamazenta: Metal Claw, Behemoth Bash
- Shadow Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Sunsteel Strike
- Crowned Sword Zacian: Metal Claw, Behemoth Blade
- Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Mega Alakazam: Psycho Cut, Psychic
- Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
- Mega Sceptile: Fury Cutter, Frenzy Plant
- Mega Gardevoir: Confusion, Psychic
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 Terrakion with efficiency.
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear Storm
- Tapu Lele: Confusion, Nature's Madness
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Hoopa Unbound: Confusion, Psychic
- Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
- Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Moongeist Beam
- Sky Forme Shaymin: Magical Leaf, Grass Knot
- Lunala: Confusion, Psychic
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Terrakion can be defeated by 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 Terrakion will have a CP of 2113 in normal weather conditions and 2641 in boosted conditions.
