In Pokémon GO strong attackers are particularly important in raids. Here are 5 Pokémon that you can use in almost every raid and that you definitely should have on your team.
This is shown by the list: We present you Pokémon that generally have a strong attack value and can also be seen as general attackers. They are also of types that are often required in raids.
Some types are needed more often because legendary raid bosses are often of the same types. Thus, the counter Pokémon rarely change.
This does not mean that each of these Pokémon from the list can generally be used against every monster. Effectiveness is still the most important factor.
Important Pokémon for strong raid bosses
The following selection of Pokémon is suitable for many raids from level 1 to Mega Raids in Pokémon GO:
Mewtwo
What kind of Pokémon is this? The legendary Pokémon is probably the best example of a monster that should definitely not be missing from your team. It is incredibly versatile and has a high attack value, allowing it to deal solid damage almost everywhere.
Mewtwo has charge attacks from 7 different types. These include:
- Flamethrower (Fire)
- Icy Wind (Ice)
- Psychic (Psychic)
- Psycho Cut (Psychic)
- Shadow Ball (Ghost)
- Thunder Shock (Electric)
- Focus Blast (Fighting)
- Hyper Beam (Normal)
Some of the attacks Mewtwo can no longer learn through a regular TM. However, you can teach it each of the attacks through the Top Charge TM.
Each of the attacks makes Mewtwo a solid and sometimes even the best attacker for the respective type. Therefore, you should definitely have one or more Mewtwo on your team, as this will make you effective against almost every Pokémon.
How to get Mewtwo? The legendary Pokémon is currently not available. It was available for a time in EX raids and then several times in the normal level 5 raids. Currently, you can only get it by exchanging or if you have not yet claimed it as a reward from the Victini research.
Rayquaza
What kind of Pokémon is this? Among dragon attackers, Rayquaza is on top. It has a solid attack value and the best dragon attacks. The Dragon type is only not very effective against a few types (Steel and Fairy). This allows Rayquaza to deal solid damage against almost every Pokémon.
Especially against other dragon Pokémon, Rayquaza is a real weapon. Dragon Pokémon are often found in raids, and in most cases, Rayquaza is the top counter.
Therefore, you should definitely have a Rayquaza ready because of the numerous dragon Pokémon that appear in raids. This way, you are optimally prepared.
How to get Rayquaza? Similar to Mewtwo, Rayquaza is only available in legendary raids. Currently, Rayquaza is not available either. Therefore, you have to obtain it through an exchange.
Darkrai
What kind of Pokémon is this? As a Dark and Ghost type attacker, Darkrai is a real weapon. It is by far the best Dark type attacker in the game and particularly useful against the numerous Psychic Pokémon in raids.
Psychic Pokémon are the most common legendary Pokémon, so you should always have a strong team against them. Darkrai is the best choice here.
Not only is Darkrai strong as a Dark type attacker, it also learns the Ghost type move Shadow Ball, making it useful for this type as well.
How to get Darkrai? This is a mysterious Pokémon that was unlocked through level 5 raids. Currently, it is not in the raids. You also cannot exchange Darkrai as it is a mysterious Pokémon. So all you can do is wait.
Tyranitar
What kind of Pokémon is this? Tyranitar is not the best attacker, but it is among the best monsters of Rock and Dark type. Both types are often in demand in raids, making Tyranitar frequently the better choice than the suggested team.
A good Tyranitar should not be missing from your team, as you can often attack effectively with it, and it is also often useful in gym battles.
How to get Tyranitar? This Pokémon is probably the easiest to obtain on the list. It can often be found in level 3 raids (formerly level 4 raids). Additionally, you can evolve it from Larvitar, which is even available in the wild. You need 125 candies for this.
Lucario
What kind of Pokémon is this? Here you have the best Fighting type attacker. This type is quite useful in raids, and with Lucario, you have a strong attacker that especially possesses a really good charge attack with Aura Sphere.
Lucario can be used in numerous raids, but is also not to be underestimated in other situations. It easily defeats the numerous gym defenders like Snorlax or Snorlax and is also a real weapon in Rocket battles.
How to get Lucario? This is the evolution of Riolu. The baby Pokémon is only available in 10 km eggs and is quite rare. Alternatively, you can also trade it.
