How to duo the current 5-star raid boss - Guide and counters!

Yes, it's possible to duo this Legendary with the right setup. Here's how my friend and I did it.


**Requirements:**

- Both players level 40+

- Best friend bonus (or at least Ultra)

- Powered up counters (level 35+)

- Weather boost helps significantly

**Optimal Counter Team:**

Each player should have 6 of the following (powered up):

1. Shadow Tyranitar - Bite/Crunch

2. Mega Houndoom - Snarl/Foul Play

3. Darkrai - Snarl/Shadow Ball

4. Hydreigon - Bite/Brutal Swing

5. Weavile - Snarl/Foul Play

6. Mega Absol - Snarl/Dark Pulse


**Strategy:**

- Start the raid at the same time

- Don't dodge too much (DPS is key)

- Rejoin quickly if you faint out

- Time remaining goal: 30+ seconds

**Our Best Time:**

Completed with 47 seconds remaining using all Shadow counters.

It's tough but doable! Let me know if you try it and how it goes.

This is exactly what I was thinking! Glad someone put it into words.

Awesome guide! Me and my partner were JUST discussing trying to duo this one. We're gonna give your counter team a shot!
