Pokémon GO: how to beat and capture Terrakion from home; best counters

Until May 26 we will be able to capture the legendary Pokemon from Teselia in level 5 raids. We tell you how to get the most out of it.

Pokémon GO is still in a state of exceptionality. After implementing measures to play from home in these times of confinement due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), Niantic has notified that Terrakion is already available in level 5 raids. From this May 19 and until next May 26 the Trainers of the iOS and Android phenomenon will be able to get hold of this succulent legendary creature from Teselia. Here are our recommendations.

Everything you need to know about Terrakion on the raids

We start with the dates. As we said, it will be until next May 26 at 22:00 (CEST) when we can fight and aspire to catch Terrakion in the level 5 raids; In addition, it is confirmed that it will also appear in shiny / variocolor form, so if we are lucky we can find this alternative color version of the Pokémon.

This member of the Generation V mystical swordsmen has a combination of Rock / Fight types and is quite interesting on a competitive level. Under normal conditions, it has a base stat of 260 ATK; 192 in DEF and 209 in resistance. At level 40 it has a CP of 3698, a figure to keep in mind for those looking for their 100% IVs. The only negative point is that its catch ratio is only 2%.

The most normal thing is that we find it with Zen or Anti-Aircraft Heading in its rapid movements. On the other hand, the loaded can have Earthquake, Avalanche and A Bocajarro. The most fearsome is the latter, with a DPS of 52.2. That said, let's move on to see the team of six Pokémon that we have selected as the best candidates for opponents or counters; always following a criterion where we take into account the accessibility of capturing these Pokémon and their balance when it comes to being trained.

Best counters against Terrakion in Pokémon GO raids

Without a doubt, Mewtwo is the most recommended option. We are talking about Terrakion, a Rock / Fight creature with vulnerability to attacks of Psychic, Fight, Earth, Water, Plant and Fairy. A beast like the legendary Kanto is a very good option; just like Metagross, Lucario, Alakazam or Deoxys in their attack form.

  • Mewtwo with Confusion and Mental (or Psychic) ​​Wave

  • Alakazam with Confusion and Psychic

  • Lucario with Counterattack and Aural Sphere

  • Metagross with Bullet Fist and Meteor Fist

  • Kingler with Bubble and Hammer

  • Machamp with Counterattack and Dynamic Fist

How to get a Remote Raid pass?

Getting us with a remote raid pass is very easy. Starting at level 5, we can participate in raids from home in those raids that appear on the Nearby screen or that are simply accessible from the map. These are the steps that we must follow:

  • We open our Pokémon GO app on iOS and Android
  • We touch the icon of the Poké Ball and we go to Store
  • We go to the Objects section
  • We purchase a remote raid pass for 100 Pokécoins (only if we have less than three standard raid passes).

We cannot forget that the Pokémon candidates for protagonists of the Community Day of June and July can now be voted on. Closer in time we have this weekend the May Community Day; all the details here. To finish, we detail how the Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem will break into Pokémon GO.
