As predicted, the release ofPokemon GO’snext major Battle Raid boss is arriving just in time to coincide withthe 2018 Halloween event. The spooky Ghost/Dragon-type Giratina is an exciting new challenge to tackle and we’ve got the perfect battle party suggestions to take down the new Legendary.
Ghost/Dragon is a very powerful combo and Giratina should actually be a great Pokemon in the current metagame, which makes this boss' arrival even more exciting. WhenPokemon GOplayers are ready to head into battle against the creature, this is the team we recommend assembling:
Rayquaza - Dragon Tail and Outrage
Dragonite - Dragon Tail and Outrage
Salamence - Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Latios - Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw
Mewtwo - Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Gengar - Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Tyranitar - Bite and Crunch
A few members of this roster are a little on the rare side, but mostPokemon GOraiders should be able to come up six strong options for this particular fight. Remember that the moveset is very important, so don’t hesitate to blow through some TMs getting the better combo together before this fight.
As always, don’t forget that if you only have six strong options, you can use revives after your first party faints and bring them back into the fight, rather than settling for the B-team.
Be sure to check back throughout the week for morePokemon GOHalloween news. Good luck out there, trainers!
