Table of Contents

Bringing the heat to your Fire type raid teams, the Fire type grunt holds the all-powerful Shadow Darmanitan as a possible encounter. The Fire grunt is quite easy to take down overall, as there's not much coverage on any of her Pokemon, so enjoy your easily obtainable Mysterious Component!

Supreme Counters
Shadow KyogreKyogrePrimal Kyogre
 Being the face of all Water types, Kyogre makes a big splash against any Fire types standing in your way with Waterfall and Surf. However, if you have Origin Pulse do not TM away it in favour of Surf.
Shadow RampardosRampardos
 Did someone mention Fire types? Because Rampardos is here to throw rocks at them with Smack Down and Rock Slide. It's a fantastic option if you have one available!
Good Counters
Shadow RhyperiorRhyperior
 Much like Rampardos, you can just spam Smack Down to clear your way through this grunt. Surf is the prefered Charged Move, though really you only need Smack Down. However, if you have Rock Wrecker do not TM away it in favour of Surf.
Shadow GarchompGarchompMega Garchomp
 The landshark is back, throwing dirt at its opponents with Mud Shot and Earth Power.
Other Good Counters
In conjunction with the above counters, several other Pokemon do a great job here, including a number of generally great Pokemon in the Master League. Feel free to mix-and-match a bit, as any of these and beyond can do a great job as well!
