Tornado leaves Pokémon GO rhelp tomorrow at 8 am local time, replaced by Thundurus. Let’s take a look at the top counters to help trainers take down Thundurys, a dual electric / flying type, that can be found in its shiny form for the first time. With this Raid Guide, you can prepare a team to face this Legendary from the Unova region, perfect your capture strategy and understand the 100% IVs of Thundurus.
Top Thundurus Accountants
Pokebattler, who calculates all possible Pokémon combinations and moves, lists the top 10 Thundurus counters as:
- Shadow Mamoswine (powder snow, avalanche)
- Rampardos (Smack Down, Rock Slide)
- Shadow Tyranitar (Smack Down, Stone Edge)
- Shadow Weavile (Ice Shard, Avalanche)
- Rhyperior (Smack Down, Rock Wrecker)
- Mega Abomasnow (powder snow, weather ball)
- Shadow Mewtwo (Psycho Cut, Ice Beam)
- Galarian Darmanitan (Ice Fang, Avalanche)
- Mamoswine (powder snow, avalanche)
- Terrakion (Smack Down, Rock Slide)
It is recommended to increase your counters as much as possible, but creating this amount of Shadow or Mega Pokémon with your movements unlocked is a difficult task, even for the most experienced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help to bring down Thundurus efficiently.
- Tyranitar (Smack Down, Stone Edge)
- Glaceon (Cold Breath, Avalanche)
- Weavile (Ice Shard, Avalanche)
- Mewtwo (Psycho Cut, Ice Beam)
- Landorus (Rock Throw, Rock Slide)
- Regigigas (hidden rock-type power, Giga impact)
- Gigalith (Smack Down, Rock Slide)
- Jynx (Cold Breath, Avalanche)
- Golem (stone throw, stone edge)
- Alolan Golem (stone throw, stone edge)
How many coaches are needed?
Thundurus can be done in pairs. However, if you can’t guarantee the best accountants with maximum CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure that you have three or more players. Using the circle locking technique to ensure Great or Excellent launches, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to capture Thundurus.
Brilliant odds and 100% IVs
The brightness rate for legendary Pokémon is approximately one in twenty.
When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Thundurus will have a CP of 1911 in normal weather conditions and 2389 in optimized conditions. Good forays, fellow coaches!
