Schedule

The Raid Hour is hosted every Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm local time. Being hosted local time means that no matter where you are in the world, the Raid Hour will start at exactly 6pm, and you don't have to adjust for time zones.

Kyurem

  • Type: Dragon, Ice
  • Weak Against: Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Rock, Steel
  • Strong Against: Electric, Grass, Water
  • Notes
    • Kyurem's Dragon-type cancels out his weakness to Fire, so avoid Fire attacks.
    • Kyurem is both vulnerable to Steel attacks and weak against their defense, so Steel Pokémon are best against Kyurem.

Counters

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