Pokemon GO’sSeason of Alola is now well underway and with it comes a bunch of new Pokemon first encountered in theSun and Moongames, including now, as part of the latest event, Tapu Lele which we have a raid guide for, including its weaknesses and best counters.
The Legendary Pokemon debuts alongside both Formantis and Laurantis as part of the brand newLush Jungle event, which also features some hefty new research titled “An Akala Adventure”.
The event takes place over the course of a week (Tuesday, March 22 - Tuesday, March 29), however, players will have until April 5 to battle and catch Tapu Lele inPokemon GORaids.
To give you the upper hand though, below you’ll findDualShockers’full Tapu Lele raid guide.
Tapu Lele Pokemon GO Weakness
Tapu Lele shares its type combination with Gardevoir and is a Psychic and Fairy-type Pokemon. This leaves it with three different weaknesses to Ghost, Poison and Steel-type moves.
Alongside these, Tapu Lele has three different resistances. This time to Psychic-type moves as well as even stronger resistances to Dragon and Fighting-type moves, be sure to avoid using these Pokemon in raids.
Best Counters For Tapu Lele in Pokemon GO
Below, you’ll find a range of Pokemon that you should consider the best counters to Tapu Lele inPokemon GOraids and should aim to bring a high level combination of all of them:
Mega Gengar-Lick/Shadow Ball.Mega Beedrill -Poison Jab/Sludge BombMetagross - Bullet Punch/Meteor MashMega Steelix - Iron Tail/Heavy SlamDialga - Metal Claw/Iron HeadGenesect - Metal Claw/Magnet BombShadow Scizor - Bullet Punch/Iron HeadExcadrill - Metal Claw/Iron HeadChandelure - Hex/Shadow BallOrigin Form Giratina - Shadow Claw/Shadow BallShadow Mewtwo - Psycho Cut/Shadow BallGengar - Lick/Shadow BallUnbound Hoopa - Astonish/Shadow Ball
Remember, by bringing a Mega Pokemon to the Raid Battles, you will boost the moves of all Pokemon that share the type as the Mega Evolution. So, for example, if you bring Mega Gengar to Tapu Lele raids, all Ghost and Poison-type moves will be boosted.
With this in mind, you should be able to tackle Tapu Lele Raids with 3 to 4 other trainers, providing you abide by the above.
