Another Pokemon GO Legendary Raid Weekend is right around the corner. Every weekend in March is bringing another iconic Legendary back to Raids with a chance for shiny encounters and trainers are very excited that this weekend’s upcoming matchup will put the spotlight on Altered Forme Giratina once again. Trainers who missed the opportunity to catch Giratina Altered Forme last time around will definitely want to take advantage of the special weekend Legendary Raids now that the Ghost/Dragon-type has secured its spot as one of the best Pokemon in the PoGO metagame.
Giratina Altered Forme initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids quite a while ago, but is finally back thanks to the month of Legendary Weekend events. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and move sets available now and the strategy for the Raid has changed quite a bit. For players who still have an older roster saved, we thought it would be a good idea to post an update with the current best counters available.
Altered Forme Giratina Special Raid Weekend will happen from Friday, March 13, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. to Monday, March 16, 2020, at 10:00 p.m. local time thanks to the special Legendary Raid Weekends. If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Altered Forme Giratina (fingers crossed!).
Ghost/Dragon is a very powerful combo and Giratina should actually be a great Pokemon in the current metagame, which makes this boss’ arrival even more exciting. When Pokemon GO players are ready to head into battle against the creature, this is the team we recommend assembling:
Strongest
Rayquaza – Dragon Tail and Outrage
Paikia – Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Strong
Dragonite – Dragon Tail and Outrage
Salamence – Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Latios – Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw
Dialga – Dragon Breath and Draco Meteor
Alternatives
Mewtwo – Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Gengar – Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Banette – Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Tyranitar – Bite and Crunch
A few members of this roster are a little on the rare side, but most Pokemon GO raiders should be able to come up six strong options for this particular fight. Remember that the moveset is very important, so don’t hesitate to blow through some TMs getting the better combo together before this fight.
As always, don’t forget that if you only have six strong options, you can use revives after your first party faints and bring them back into the fight, rather than settling for the B-team.
Be sure to check back for more Pokemon GO news, updates, and strategy guides in the coming days. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
