Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down White Kyurem, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top White Kyurem Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten White Kyurem counters as such:
- Crowned Shield Zamazenta: Metal Claw, Behemoth Bash
- Eternatus: Dragon Tail, Dynamax Cannon
- Crowned Sword Zacian: Metal Claw, Behemoth Blade
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Mega Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Secret Sword
- Dusk Mane Necrozma: Metal Claw, Sunsteel Strike
- Mega Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere
- Mega Latios: Dragon Breath, Aura Sphere
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 White Kyurem with efficiency.
- Origin Forme Dialga: Metal Claw, Roar of Time
- Origin Forme Palkia: Dragon Tail, Spacial Rend
- Black Kyurem: Dragon Tail, Freeze Shock
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Haxorus: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Blaziken: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Garchomp: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
- Palkia: Dragon Tail, Draco Meteor
- Dragapult: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
White Kyurem can be defeated by two trainers. 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 Kyurem will have a CP of 2042 in normal weather conditions and 2553 in boosted conditions.
Road to Kalos Background
Trainers will have a chance of catching Legendaries with a Road to Kalos background exclusive to this event. Be sure to check your Pokémon after you catch it!
