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.

Raid Guide

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):
  • Shadow Tyranitar - Bite/Crunch

  • Mega Houndoom - Snarl/Foul Play

  • Darkrai - Snarl/Shadow Ball

  • Hydreigon - Bite/Brutal Swing

  • Weavile - Snarl/Foul Play

  • Mega Absol - Snarl/Dark Pulse


Counter Pokemon

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.
