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

Necrozma has finally made its Pokemon GO debut during the Pokemon GO Fest kickoff in Sendai, Japan, and players are chomping at the bit to add it to their roster. Here is how you can prepare for Necrozma’s arrival by training up the best counters in Pokemon GO.

Necrozma Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Necrozma is a pure Psychic-type, which means it’s weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks. Despite its brooding nature and sheer strength when used in GBL and PvE battles, Necrozma doesn’t have a lot of attacks in Pokemon GO Raids that counter its weaknesses. That’s not to say it doesn’t have a dynamic moveset, but it’s not a wide enough range to affect Bug and Dark types very much.

Necrozma raids in Pokemon GO are a bit of an enigma, as the Legendary has a wider variety of moves than normal raid bosses. It only brings two attacks to the battle, but they can be Ghost, Dragon, Psychic, Steel, or Dark-type moves. The only ones players really need to worry about are the Ghost-type attacks.

Despite potentially having strong Ghost-type attacks, a lot of our top 10 Necrozma counters are Ghost types. The list also features Pokemon with strong type moves that are Super Effective against Psychic-types.

Again, Necrozma isn’t as tough as it may look. It may have been a challenging boss fight in the mainline games, but these raids should only need three to four trainers. However, you need to make sure your Pokemon are above 3,500 CP and aren’t weak to Necrozma’s attacks.
