The raid boss Cresselia in Pokémon GO is definitely doable with a few people. However, only two players have defeated the Pokémon.
Cresselia has been challengeable in raid battles for a few days now, and strong trainers have repeatedly attempted to defeat the legendary Pokémon as a duo. So far, however, all attempts have failed.
Now there are two videos that prove Cresselia can also be defeated with two players. We will show you the videos and reveal how to achieve the impossible.
The weather is crucial
As seen on Reddit and on YouTube, two strong trainers have succeeded in defeating Cresselia as a duo. We will now show you the YouTube video in which the trainers “B1ackWing” and “BlueW1ng” defeated the legendary Pokémon.
Rare weather is important: Only with the right weather is it possible to take down Cresselia as a duo. Since the Ghost-type Pokémon Gengar is the best counter, it needs to be foggy in the game. Foggy weather is by far the rarest. So you need to be lucky if you want to beat Cresselia as a team of two.
This team is required: To defeat Cresselia, you need a complete team of Gengar. For that, the quick move Lick, which it learned only on the Gengar Day. Alternatively, the quick move Dark Pulse is also possible, but it can no longer learn that.
Other Pokémon are also strong against Cresselia, but they cannot defeat the legendary Pokémon in a duo.
Best friends required: Additionally, you and your partner must be best friends in the game. This will grant you a battle bonus that is crucial.
How many people does it take to defeat Cresselia otherwise? The Psychic-type Pokémon has many weaknesses and can be countered well. Nevertheless, you should only challenge it as three very strong level 40 players. For regular players, a group size of five to six should suffice.
Duo videos are popular: With each new raid boss, trainers try to defeat the Pokémon as a duo. Cresselia was likely one of the toughest challenges. With Deoxys or Giratina, it was significantly easier.
