The June, July, and August season of Pokémon GO, titled Shared Skies, has begun. It now continues with a Pokémon GO Fest 2024-focused slate of Ultra Beasts. We will see Guzzlord, Nihilego, Celesteela, Kartana, Stakataka, Blacephalon, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Articuno, and Incarnate Forme Tornadus in Tier Five Raids while Mega Swampert and Mega Aggron return to Mega Raids. In addition to that, we will see Shadow Entei get its chance to shine in Shadow Raids during weekends. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Xurkitree, who will have a stint as the Tier Five Raid Boss. Let's get into it.
Top Primal Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Xurkitree counters as such:
- Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Shadow Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Mega Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Shadow Mamoswine: Mud-Slap, Bulldoze
- Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Sandsear
- Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
- Excadrill: Mud-Slap, Scorching Sands
- Mamoswine: Mud-Slap, Bulldoze
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 Xurkitree with efficiency.
- Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Rhyperior: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Incarnate Forme Landorus: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Dawn Wings Necrozma: Psycho Cut, Moongeist Beam
- Krookodile: Mud-Slap, Earthquake
- Hippowdon: Sand Attach, Scorching Sands
- Golurk: Mud-Slap, Earth Power
- Flygon: Mud Shot, Scorching Sands
- Regigigas: Ground-type Hidden Power, Giga Impact
- Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Psystrike
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Xurkitree 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 Xurkitree will have a CP of 2249 in normal weather conditions and 2812 in boosted conditions.
