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

Celesteela is the last of the Ultra Beasts to be added to Pokemon GO, and like its counterparts, it can only be encountered in raids. Here are the best counters to use against Celesteela to make the Pokemon GO raids a smidge easier.

Celesteela Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Celesteela is a Steel and Flying-type Pokemon, as you may have guessed by the name. This means Celesteela is vulnerable to Fire and Electric-type attacks. However, we recommend leaning toward Fire-type Pokemon, as Celesteela can bring a Ground-type move to the fight.

Pokemon	Type	Vulnerable To	Strong Against	Resistant To
Celesteela	Steel/Flying	Fire Electric	Grass Fighting Bug Ice Rock Fairy Fire Flying Electric Poison Steel	Grass Fighting Bug Normal Ice Flying Psychic Rock Dragon Steel Fairy

As you can see in the chart above, Celesteela has a lot of coverage. It can bring Flying, Ground, Rock, Steel, and Normal-type moves to battle, giving it a ton of offensive prowess. Its dual typing also gives it a massive defensive wall, so players have to be selective as to which attacks they choose to use during the raid.
