Pokemon Go Kyurem weaknesses

Best counters for Pokemon Go Kyurem Raid

The overall best counter for beating Kyurem Raids in Pokemon Go is Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash.

While Metagross excels both offensively and defensively, you will need more counters to successfully defeat the Raid Boss.

So here’s the list of the top counters for Pokemon Go Kyurem Raids:

• Metagross: This powerful Pokemon’s Steel-type helps it resist Kyurem’s Dragon as well as Ice-type attacks. And with the incredibly powerful Meteor Mash, Metagross can wreck Kyurem.
• Mega Rayquaza: Arguably the strongest Pokemon in the game right now, Mega Rayquaza deals exceptional damage but needs to be wary of Kyurem’s Ice-type attacks.
• Mega Garchomp: Just like Mega Rayquaza, this powerhouse hits hard and needs to dodge Ice-type attacks from Kyurem.
• Mega Gardevoir: If Kyurem is using Dragon-type moves in the Raid, Mega Gardevoir is an excellent choice to beat the Raid Boss as it takes very little damage.
• Lucario: The ever-reliable Lucario salvages both its Fighting and Steel-type moves to dent Kyurem’s defenses.

Other good Kyurem Raid counters in Pokemon Go include Mega Blaziken, Haxorus, Conkeldurr, Mega Tyranitar, and Mega Scizor.
