Coballion Pokémon GO Raid Guide: weakness, counters & hundo CPs

Coballion is back in Pokémon GO Raids on February 25th as part of the Road to Unova event leading up to the Unova Tour. Coballion will be in Raids alongside the other Swords of Justice, Virizion and Terrakion.

These Raids are well worth doing, as Coballion is a very strong Pokémon in Pokémon GO. It will be in special 25 minute long Raids throughout the day. Additionally, there will be a special Raid Hour from 6 p.m - 7 p.m local time.

Take advantage of all the bonuses avaliable during the Road to Unova event and level up your Tour Pass Deluxe by taking on Coballion. Here is everything you need to know to take it down.

Coballion has a weakness to Fighting, Fire and Ground-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. It has a huge amount of weaknesses, resisting Dark, Dragon, Grass, Ice, Normal and Steel-type attacks. Additionally, it double resists Bug, Poision and Rock-type Pokémon.

Here are the best Pokémon to use when battling Coballion in Pokémon GO.

Mega Lucario is the best Pokémon to take on Coballion in Pokémon GO, being a very strong Fighting-type Pokémon that also resists Steel-type attacks. Other good Mega Pokémon, like Mega Blaziken and Primal Groudon are top counters for Coballion too.

Of course, you can only have one Mega or Primal Pokémon in your team at once. So, other great Pokémon to use include Therian Forme Landorus, Reshiram and Dawn Wings Necrozma. Reshiram appears later in the week during the Unova Tour sadly, but Dawn Wings Necrozma appeared in the recent Necrozma Raid Day.

Both Lucario and Groudon in the standard forms will also be great Coballion counters to use in Pokémon GO.

Yes, the Coballion you encounter after the Raid can be shiny in Pokémon GO.

Mega Evolutions can help you get more candy and XL candy with every catch. Having a mega level 3 active that boosts candy for Steel and Fighting-types will give you an extra 2 candy per catch, as well as a 25% bonus to your XL candy chance.

We would suggest Mega Lucario or Mega Blaziken. These Pokémon award bonus candy and are top Coballion counters

Coballion isn't too tough to beat in Pokémon GO. You need at least three Trainers when taking on this Raid. For lower level Trainers, or those without the best counters, aim for a group of at least six Trainers when battling Coballion.
