Pokémon GO: guide to beat Giratina Origin Form in raids and better counters

The legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region is back temporarily in the Level 5 raids. We tell you everything to defeat it.

Raids continue to be one of the most interesting activities in Pokémon GO. This October, which will be marked by a multitude of events of all kinds, is the time to welcome Giratina Forma Origen. If in March we had the Modified Form, now we receive this alternative form of the well-known Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, a deadly creature that starred in Pokémon Platinum from the World Warp.

How long will Giratina Origin Form be available in Pokémon GO?

Let’s start by talking about the dates. Giratina becomes available in Pokémon GO Tier 5 Raids this October 9 starting at 10:00 PM CEST; that is to say, on the night of this Friday. You will be comfortable in these parts, since until October 23 you will not say goodbye, so we have plenty of time to go to the raid when we can and, above all, be responsible with the confinement measures decreed in the town where we live: Remote Raid Passes are still available, allowing you to participate from home, alone, with social distance.

Let’s get to know Giratina Forma Origen a little more closely, however. Unlike the Modified Form, this 41,775 CP raid (it can come out shiny / variocolor, although the ratio is extremely low) presents us with a Ghost / Dragon type creature with 225 ATK, 187 DEF and 284 RES. So that we have the concrete figure in the head of its 100% Full IVS form, it is specifically 3683 PC in the face-to-face confrontation. Its combination of types leaves us enough attack coverage if we have companions with Ice, Ghost, Dragon, Sinister and Fairy types, which are what we base our team on.

His way of countering our stakes will be, in quick movements, Umbrian Claw and Dragon Tail; in the charged attacks, if we are very lucky, it will come with Dark Wind, but if it cannot respond with Dragon Pulse or Shadow Ball. Beware of the latter.
