Most Ultra Beast designs are hit or miss, with creatures like Buzzswole dividing players with their polarizing physique. However, Kartana is one of the few seemingly universally loved by trainers, and here is how you can defeat it in Pokemon GO.
Kartana Weakness & Type Effectiveness Explained
Kartana is back in Pokemon GO Raids, and this Grass/Steel-type Origami beast is a favorite of many, partially because it’s a pretty easy raid to win. Kartana has a double weakness to Fire-type attacks, making its weakness to Fighting-type moves pale in comparison.
Pokemon | Type | Vulnerable To | Strong Against | Resistant To |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Kartana | Grass/Steel | Fire Fighting | Water Ground Rock Grass Fighting Bug Psychic Ghost Dark | Water Electric Grass Normal Grass Psychic Rock Dragon Steel Fairy |
Kartana’s moveset can consist of Grass, Flying, Dark, and Bug-type moves, which gives it a wide range of coverage. However, Fire-type Pokemon fly under the radar as they resist some of those attacks.
Best Kartana Counters in Pokemon GO
Again, we can’t stress how important it is to bring strong Fire-type Pokemon into Kartana raids. While this Ultra Beast is one of the weaker raids, it still requires a bit of effort and planning to take down, so we recommend these ten counters:
Pokemon | Moves |
---|---|
![]() Mega Charizard Y | Fire Spin Blast Burn |
![]() Mega Blaziken | Fire Spin Blast Burn |
![]() Reshiram | Fire Fang Fusion Flare |
![]() Ho-Oh (Shadow) | Incinerate Sacred Fire |
![]() Moltres (Shadow) | Fire Spin Overheat |
![]() Entei (Shadow) | Fire Fang Overheat |
![]() Heatran | Fire Spin Magma Storm |
![]() Typhlosion (Shadow) | Incinerate Blast Burn |
![]() Arcanine (Shadow) | Fire Fang Flamethrower |
![]() Volcarona | Fire Spin Overheat |
Again, Kartana isn’t a hard raid boss, but we do recommend at least two to three trainers team up before taking on the Ultra Beast. As well, make sure your Pokemon are above 3,500 CP or else you might struggle to take this one down.
