Zekrom Raid Guide

CP Range

Move Difficulty

Charge Beam is okay, but a lot of Zekrom's best counters resist it. Flash Cannon comes out infrequently and doesn't have particularly relevant coverage.

Dragon Breath is a bit of a weak move, but Zekrom makes it work, especially when facing down opposing dragons. Wild Charge hits very hard, but a lot of dragons resist it. That said, the DRAGON KING takes neutral damage from it, so it can be pretty dangerous. Crunch has great neutral coverage and comes out frequently, making it a strong charged move to face down.

Outrage hits hard and has outstanding counter-coverage. This is definitely a threatening move, and should be dodged.

Overview

Zekrom is a powerful Pokemon, and one half of the deadly Black Kyurem. There are plenty of reasons to aim for Zekrom, so focusing on it isn't a bad idea. Note that if Black Kyurem is your only goal, then the IVs on Zekrom don't matter; just grab one and fuse it.

Team Building Approach

• Zekrom is weak to Dragon, Fairy, Ice and Ground.
• Dragons tends to stand head-and-shoulders above the competition in this raid... and most raids where they're Super Effective.
• Ground has a few note-worthy options, but they tend to fall off if they're not named Groudon.
• Ice is a good backup type, but also a bit risky against Reshiram's fire.... unless you're packing White Kyurem.
• Fairy exists.

Best Raid Counters

Zekrom has a comfortable duo with the top counters here. If you've got 3+ players with even decent counters, then this isn't going to be a hard raid.

Supreme Counters

Zekrom... has problems. On the top of its counters are some of the strongest Pokemon in the entire game, and they will absolutely TRASH it given the chance. Beware of Outrage, and go all-in on Dragon power... unless you've got Kyurem's formes, which drop Ice instead.
