A new season titled Timeless Travel has begun in Pokémon GO. This Hisui-focused season begins with an Ice-, Steel-, and Dragon-focused December 2023.

Top Wyrdeer Counters

Please see some of the top Wyrdeer counters here:

  • Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Shadow Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
  • Mega Absol: Snarl, Payback
  • Shadow Honchkrow: Snarl, Dark Pulse
  • Shadow Absol: Snarl, Payback
  • Shadow Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Mega Pinsir: Bug Bite, X-Scissor

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 Wyrdeer with efficiency.

  • Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Darkrai: Snarl, Dark Pulse
  • Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Volcarona: Bug Bite, Bug Buzz
  • Pheromosa: Bug Bite, Bug Buzz
  • Weavile: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Zoroark: Snarl, Foul Play
  • Yveltal: Snarl, Dark Pulse
  • Honchkrow: Snarl, Dark Pulse
  • Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Wyrdeer can be defeated by one trainer, 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 two 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.

Shiny Odds

It is confirmed that Wyrdeer will have a boosted Shiny rate during Wyrdeer Raid Day. While it is impossible to confirm exactly what the rate will be, most Raid Days have historically shown evidence of boosting the focus Pokémon's Shiny rate to approximately one in ten.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
