Shiny Terrakions are up for grabs, alongside valuable Candy and Candy XL.

Today is Terrakion Raid Hour in Pokémon GO. From 6 PM – 7 PM, Wednesday, November 28th, this Rock/Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon will appear in Tier Five Raids all over the game. Most Gyms on your map will feature these Raids, so you will have a great chance to hunt for Shiny Terrakion. Terrakion is also quite a useful Pokémon as both a Rock-type and Fighting-type, so it's certainly worth raiding to earn Candy and Candy XL that can be used to power up your own Terrakion. Let's look at some tips for this event.

If you have access to Shadow Pokémon, Mega Evolutions, and Primal Forms, these are some of the top counters to use. Remember, though, your Shadow Pokémon need their moves listed below unlocked. Do not go into a Tier Five raid using a Shadow that still has Frustration! The list goes:

Shadow Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
Mega Alakazam: Confusion, Psychic
Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
Mega Gardevoir: Confusion, Psychic
Mega Swampert: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
Mega Latios: Zen Headbutt, Psychic
Mega Sceptile: Bullet Seed, Frenzy Plant

When it comes to non-Shadows, you still have great options. You should use the following, in this order, to take advantage of Terrakion's weaknesses:

Mewtwo: Confusion, Psystrike
Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
Hoopa Unbound: Confusion, Psychic
Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
Lunala: Confusion, Psychic
Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash
Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
Kartana: Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade
Hoopa Confined: Confusion, Psychic
Zarude: Vine Whip, Power Whip
Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch

Note that Terrakion itself is a great counter to Terrakion. How can this be? Keep in mind that with Raids, you aren't trying to last in the battle. You are trying to do as much damage as quickly as possible. Your Terrakion will be knocked out, but it'll go down swinging and taking out the Raid Boss's health.
