Best Xurkitree Raid Counters In Pokemon GO: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Xurkitree finally made its Pokemon GO debut as a part of the Ultra Beast takeover during Pokemon GO Fest 2024. To make the fight a bit easier, here are the best counters you can use to take down Xurkitree raids in Pokemon GO!

Xurkitree Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Xurkitree is a pure Electric-type Pokemon, which means it is vulnerable to a single type: Ground. However, Xurkitree can potentially bring a Grass-type attack to the raid, meaning players will want to make sure they have the necessary dual typing to negate that Super Effective damage.

Pokemon	Type	Vulnerable To	Strong Against	Resistant To
Xurkitree	Electric	Ground	Water Flying Fighting Dragon Dark Ground Rock	Electric Flying Steel

Xurkitree only brings two moves to raids, and they can be a mix of Electric, Fairy, or Grass-type attacks. Players only have to worry about the Grass attacks, as they shouldn’t be bringing any Pokemon that are vulnerable to Electric and Fairy-type attacks.

Best Xurkitree Counters in Pokemon GO

Again, Xurkitree is only weak to Ground-type attacks, so it makes sense that our entire top 10 counters for this raid boss would be Ground-type or have strong ground attacks.

Xurkitree isn’t a tough boss, so three or four trainers with teams of Pokemon above 3,500 CP should be able to handle the raid boss with no problem. Just make sure you stick to the list above, or pick other Pokemon with strong Ground-type attacks.
