Raid hour with Kyurem today – Start time and counters
When does it start? The raid hour starts promptly at 6:00 PM. Raid eggs will hatch everywhere, and Kyurem will be battleable. At 7:00 PM, it will end.
Which Pokémon should you use? Kyurem is weak against the types Steel, Dragon, Fairy, Rock, and Fighting. Depending on the weather, you can adjust your counters accordingly:
- Cloudy weather: Use primarily Fighting and Fairy Pokémon
- Windy weather: Dragon Pokémon are particularly strong
- Partly cloudy: Rock-type Pokémon are the right choice here
You shouldn’t expect snow in July. If the weather actually goes crazy, you can of course use Steel Pokémon here.
In our counter guide to Kyurem, you will find the best Pokémon against the legendary monster.
How many players are needed? Kyurem can be defeated quite well with two players. However, we recommend a group size of about 5 players for the raid hour to make it faster.
Are there more raid hours? Kyurem will continue to appear in the raid hour in the coming weeks. So if you don’t have time this Wednesday, you can take advantage of the upcoming weeks as well.
The legendary Pokémon is definitely worth it, even if it is currently available in the wrong form. In our analysis of Kyurem, you can learn more about it.
