Best Kyurem Recommended Counters

The best Pokémon with Steel-, Fighting-, or Dragon-type attacks that you should use against Kyurem include:

You can add any six of these to your Kyurem raid battle party. Please note that you can only use one Mega Pokémon active per battle at a time. If you want more Kyurem Candy while raiding, use Mega Metagross or Mega Rayquaza. Using a Mega that shares a similar type with a raid boss grants extra Candy for catching the raid boss.

Strong Budget Options as Kyurem Recommended Counters

If you don’t have access to Mega Evolutions or restricted legendaries, you can still put out incredible damage using these highly effective budget picks:

• Lucario with Force Palm as a Fast Attack and Aura Sphere as a Charged Attack.

• Metagross with Bullet Punch as a Fast Attack and Meteor Mash as a Charged Attack.

• Conkeldurr with Counter as a Fast Attack and Dynamic Punch as a Charged Attack.

• Garchomp with Dragon Tail as a Fast Attack and Breaking Swipe as a Charged Attack.

• Haxorus with Dragon Tail as a Fast Attack and Breaking Swipe as a Charged Attack.

• Blaziken with Counter as a Fast Attack and Aura Sphere as a Charged Attack.

A team built around these options will easily contribute meaningful damage in medium-to-large raid groups. Ensure these budget options are powered up to a level where they can deal more damage. The recommended level is their level 35 power-ups.

Other Raid Tips

• Coordinate Megas: Mega Metagross and Mega Lucario offer incredible team-wide Steel- and Fighting-type boosts. Coordinate with your raid group so you always have an active Mega boost on the field.

• Weather Advantage: Windy weather boosts Dragon-type attacks, while Snowy weather empowers Steel-type moves. Plan your teams around the current in-game forecast.

• Trainer Requirements: High-level duos are entirely possible with highly optimized, maxed-out counters. For casual or semi-prepared groups, a team of 3 to 5 Trainers will easily secure a comfortable victory.

• Move Alignment: Make sure your chosen counters have their optimal STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) moves unlocked and TM’d before the raid starts to maximize your damage contribution bundle.

Hundo CP for Kyurem from Raids

The hundo CP (i.e., the perfect 100% IV CP) for Kyurem caught from raids depends on the in-game weather condition:

• Weather Boosted (Windy / Snowy): 2553 CP

• Standard Weather: 2042 CP

If you pull one of these stats and it is a Shiny, congratulations, you’ve officially caught a shundo.

Kyurem’s Best Moveset

If you land a high-IV Kyurem and want to optimize its moveset for general combat or prepare it for fusion, its best moveset is Dragon Breath as a Fast Attack combined with Glaciate as a Charged Attack.
