How To Beat Xerneas Raid – Best Counters, Weaknesses, Moveset

In this guide, you’ll learn about Xerneas’ vulnerabilities as well as some counter-strategies for defeating this legendary Pokémon!

Xerneas

• Type: Fairy
• Raid Boss CP: 45, 899
• When Caught: 2079 – 2160 CP
• Weakness: Poison and Steel
• Best Counters:

• Because Xerneas is a plain Fairy-type Pokémon, preparing your counters for it is simple if you already have a diverse roster of Pokémon.
• Focus entirely on both poison and steel-type Pokémon, making sure they have a powerful moveset fixated on Xerneas’ vulnerabilities, and you’ll be prepared to beat the stag!

Xerneas Moveset

• In comparison to other Pokemon game franchises, Xerneas has been severely nerfed in Pokemon Go.

• Although both fast moves are terrible, Zen Headbutt has to be the better of the two and is particularly impactful against Ghost-type Pokemon. So bear that in mind if you’re employing Gengar to counter!
• Once you’ve captured Xerneas, Megahorn is the worst choice for a charged move, trailed by Giga Impact.
• However, based on the Pokemon you anticipate encountering while using Xerneas, Moonblast, Close Combat, and Thunder are all viable options.
• If the Xerneas you’re battling has Close Combat, use Poison-types to take it out!
