Kartana Recommended Counters in Pokémon GO (June 2026)

Discover the best Kartana recommended counters in Pokémon GO. Maximize your raid damage with the top Pokémon counters and budget teams. Also discover Kartana’s perfect hundo CP stats.

As a dual Grass- and Steel-type Legendary Pokémon, its best recommended counters are Pokémon with Fire-type attacks. Because of its typing, it has a massive double weakness to Fire-type attacks, making these counters your absolute primary focus when putting together a raid team to challenge this Ultra Beast. They deal 2.56x damage to Kartana. Furthermore, due to its steel-typing, it is 1.6x weak to Pokémon with Fighting-type attacks

If you are planning to farm Candy, hunt for a shiny, or simply add it to your collection, bringing the right counters will make all the difference.

Kartana will be available in Five-Star Raids from Wednesday, June 24, at 6:00 a.m. local time until Tuesday, June 30, at 9:00 p.m. local time. Only Trainers in the Northern Hemisphere will be able to raid locally. All other Trainers will need to join the raid remotely.

Best Kartana Recommended Counters

The best Pokémon with Fire-type attacks that you should use against Kartana include:

You can add any six of these to your Kartana raid battle party. Please note that you can only use one Mega Pokémon active per battle at a time.

If you want more Kartana Candy while raiding, use Mega Venusaur, Mega Sceptile, or Mega Abomasnow (since catching a raid boss matching your active Mega’s type grants extra Candy and XL Candy). However, don’t use any of these in the raids.

Strong Budget Options as Kartana Recommended Counters

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

• Darmanitan with Fire Fang as a Fast Attack and Overheat as a Charged Attack.
• Chandelure with Fire Spin as a Fast Attack and Overheat as a Charged Attack.
• Blaziken with Fire Spin as a Fast Attack and Blast Burn as a Charged Attack.
• Moltres with Fire Spin as a Fast Attack and Overheat as a Charged Attack.
• Heatran with Fire Spin as a Fast Attack and Magma Storm as a Charged Attack.
• Typhlosion with Incinerate as a Fast Attack and Blast Burn 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 Charizard Y and Mega Blaziken offer incredible team-wide Fire-type boosts. Coordinate with your raid group so you always have an active Mega boost on the field.

• Weather Advantage: Fire-type attacks are heavily boosted during Sunny weather. Plan your teams around the current in-game forecast to shred through Kartana faster.

• Trainer Requirements: Due to Kartana’s incredibly low defensive stat pool and double weakness to Fire-type attacks, high-level solos are entirely possible with highly optimized, maxed-out counters. For casual or semi-prepared groups, a team of 2 to 3 Trainers will easily secure a comfortable victory.

Hundo CP for Kartana from Raids

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

• Weather Boosted (Sunny or Snowy): 2626 CP
• Standard Weather: 2101 CP

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

Kartana’s Best Moveset

If you land a high-IV Kartana and want to optimize its moveset for general combat, its best baseline setup is Razor Leaf as a Fast Attack combined with Leaf Blade as a Charged Attack. Kartana is a top-tier non-mega Grass-type attacker in Pokémon GO.
