Best opponents for Azelf in Pokémon GO

With Azelf, we are facing a Psychic-type Pokémon with 270 in attack, 151 in defense and 181 in resistance; It should not present much difficulty if we go to the raid with good attackers, but you have to be very careful with their attack statistics, especially if you use Flare in the charged attack. At level 40, his 100% form has 3210 CP in single capture combat; during the raid he has 44,972 PC. These are his best opponents:

  • Chandelure with Misfortune and Shadow Ball
  • Hydreigon with Bite and Shadow Pulse
  • Tyranitar with Bite and Shred
  • Mewtwo with Psychocut and Shadow Ball
  • Gengar with Lick (or Umbrian Claw) and Shadow Ball
  • Darkrai with Scream and Dark Pulse
  • Deoxys forms an attack with Noxious Puja and Shadow Pulse

Best opponents for Mesprit in Pokémon GO

The case of Mesprit, which is the one that corresponds to us in Europe, is much simpler than Azelf given its statistics. In Pokémon GO we are going to see it with 41,887 PC in the raid both on our continent and in the Middle East, Africa and India. His 100 IVs form at level 40 has 3058 CP during single combat and maintains the Psychic type of his companions in the Lake Trio. Now, watch out for Blizzard, his most fearsome attack in the Charge combo.

  • Tyranitar with Bite and Shred
  • Mewtwo with Psychocut and Shadow Ball
  • Darkrai with Scream and Dark Pulse / Shadow Ball
  • Chandelure with Misfortune and Shadow Ball
  • Weavile with Scream and Suco Play
  • Gengar with Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball

Best opponents for Uxie in Pokémon GO

We finish with Uxie, another extraordinary Pokémon thanks to a defense of no less than 270 points, 156 in attack and 181 in resistance. Ending him depends on whether we are enough people; we recommend a minimum of six people. In his raid form he has 35,356 CP, but thanks to his defense it is more difficult to finish him in time. From his attacks we have to consider the use of Thunder (Electric) and Premonition. If it touches us quickly we will have been very lucky. Those are his most recommendable opponents.

  • Darkrai with Scream and Dark Pulse / Shadow Ball
  • Weavile with Scream and Suco Play
  • Mewtwo with Psychocut and Shadow Ball
  • Hydreigon with Bite and Shred
  • Mega Beedrill with Sting and Scissors X
  • Giratina Origin Form with Umbrian Claw and Shadow Ball
