Raid Guide

Cresselia

  • Type: Psychic
  • Weak Against: Bug, Dark, Ghost
  • Strong Against: Fighting, Psychic
  • Notes
    • Since Psychic Pokémon are resistant to their own type, a great technique to use against Cresselia is to use a Pokémon that is dual-type Psychic and one of Cresselia's weaknesses. An example of this would be Hoopa, a Psychic/Ghost Pokémon.

Counters

Because Mega Pokémon are rarely used, we opted not to include them in the list of the best counters.

Another important thing to know about Cresselia is that they have very strong resistance to Fighting attacks, so avoid those at all costs.

That's everything you need to know about the upcoming Raid Boss!
