Today, on September 29, the last Raid Hour featuring the Lake Trio Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf is taking place in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to find the worldwide raids and which counters you should use.
What kind of event is this? Every Wednesday evening, a so-called Raid Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. At almost all gyms, you can find Level 5 raids – that is, those with the legendary bosses.
Next Wednesday, Genesect will be the focus of this event, so today you have the last event hour of this kind with the Lake Trio before it disappears again.
The best counters against Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf
When does it start? The Raid Hour begins, as you know from previous events, around 6:00 PM and usually ends at 7:00 PM. Before it starts, the dark raid eggs appear at the gyms, indicating where the next raids will soon begin.
What are the best counters? Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf are Psychic type and are therefore weak to attacks from the Dark, Ghost, and Bug types. Here is a selection of the strongest attackers you can use in the raid against Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf.
- Giratina (Altered Forme) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
- Chandelure with Hex and Shadow Ball
- Snorunt with Icy Wind and Energy Ball
- Mewtwo with Confusion or Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
- Absol with Icy Wind and Dark Pulse or Sucker Punch
- Houndoom with Icy Wind and Sucker Punch
- Dracovish with Bite and Dark Pulse
- Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
- Gengar with Shadow Claw or Lick and Shadow Ball
- Yveltal with Icy Wind and Dark Pulse
- Pinsir with Bug Bite and X-Scissor

Can you catch Shiny Mesprit, Uxie, and Azelf? Yes, the shiny versions of the Lake Trio have been in the game for quite some time, and with a bit of luck, you can receive them after the raid as a catch reward.
How to participate in worldwide raids?
This is how the raids are distributed: Currently, in Germany, you can only encounter Mesprit. Uxie and Azelf can be found through worldwide raids, known as remote raids. With this feature, trainers from all over the world can invite you to raids, and you can participate from your current location.
This is how you participate: To find worldwide raids, there are various methods, such as searching Twitter under the English hashtags for the Pokémon (keep in mind the time difference with other regions).
We have compiled an overview of resources to help you now find raids for Memesprit and Azelf in Pokémon GO.
