In April, a legendary Pokémon stands out: The Therian Forme of Landorus makes its debut in Pokémon GO. We will tell you why you should definitely hunt it and why it is the Pokémon of the month.
Why is Landorus so important right now? On April 13, the Therian Forme of Landorus celebrates its debut in Pokémon GO. Until now, you could only catch the Incarnate Form, which was already strong but did not surpass all other Ground attackers. This is likely to change with the Therian Forme. If it retains its moves, we will get the unquestionably best Ground attacker in the game.
That is reason enough for you to fully dive into the Landorus raids in April. After months of repetitions and weak raid bosses, there is finally a new and also useful monster in the raids.
Landorus in Pokémon GO – The best Ground attacker
How do I get Landorus? The legendary Pokémon will be available in Level 5 raids from April 13 to April 27. Only during this period will you be able to challenge and catch the Therian Forme of Landorus. When this Pokémon will return afterwards is currently unclear.
You need to challenge the legendary monster with a raid or remote raid pass and enough teammates, just like you are used to from legendary raids.
This is how I will proceed this month: In the past months, I often neglected legendary raids. But in April, I will dive back in. I have already assembled a group of teammates, and we will defeat as many Landorus as possible via remote raid. My goal is clear: at least one Landorus with 98% IV.
For this, I will especially use the raid hour, which will fortunately take place twice with Landorus. Otherwise, I will also invest my passes daily and surely invest a PokéCoin or two for additional raid passes.
How strong will Landorus be: Now it gets really exciting. First, let’s take a look at Landorus’s stats:
- Attack: 289
- Defense: 179
- HP: 205
- Max CP: 4434
Currently, there is no other Ground Pokémon that has as high an attack as Landorus in its Therian Forme. Groudon, in second place, has “only” 270 in attack. Additionally, Landorus currently has one of the best Ground movesets in the game with Mud Shot and Earth Power. This combination makes the legendary Pokémon undoubtedly the best Ground attacker in the game.
However, it should be noted that the Therian Forms of Tornadus and Thundurus received new moves just before their release. As a result, both monsters were strengthened. If Landorus’s moves are changed shortly before its release, it may potentially become weaker.
What else is happening this month? The month is full of events in Pokémon GO. In addition to the debut of Landorus, there will be other new Pokémon from Gen 6 and exciting events. The complete event calendar can be found here:
