Pokemon GO

The first big Pokemon GO Battle Raid rotation of November 2021 has arrived, which means the time to battle Darkrai is temporarily over and trainers are now focusing on a trio of tier five boss fights. There are some powerful and meta-relevant encounters up for grabs, so get those Remote Raid Passes queued up and ready.

Trainers should keep in mind that Virizion is a Grass/Fighting-type. That pairings means that it is going to be extra weak to Flying-type counters. That is what players will really want to focus on while constructing a counter roster before heading into these battles...

Best Virizion Raid Counters

Pidgeot (Mega) - Gust/Brave Bird
Moltres - Wing Attack/Sky Attack
Rayquaza - Air Slash/Aerial Ace
Honchkrow - Peck/Sky Attack
Tornadus - Air Slash/Hurricane
Unfezant - Air Slash/Sky Attack
Mewtwo - Confusion/Psystrike
Tornadus (Therian) - Air Slash/Hurricane
Lugia - Extrasensory/Sky Attack
Togekiss - Air Slash/Aerial Ace
Zapdos - Thunder Shock/Drill Peck
Braviary - Air Slash/Brave Bird
Staraptor - Wing Attack/Brave Bird
Reshiram - Fire Fang/Overheat
Yanmega - Wing Attack/Aerial Ace
Volcarona - Fire Spin/Hurricane
Latios - Zen Headbutt/Psychic

The most important thing trainers can do is to enter the battle with enough friends (at least three or four mid- to high-level players) and to focus on using Pokemon that take advantage of the boss’ weaknesses. Raiders should have a decent amount of Flying-types Pokemon powered up should be in for an easy battle this time around. Don’t hesitate to burn through some Stardust, Rare Candy, and TMs in order to properly prepare for the big fight.

More details about upcoming events should arrive throughout the final days of the Season of Mischief. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
