This season focuses on the build-up to Pok\u00e9mon GO Tour: Kalos. For the first month of Precious Paths, Five-Star Raids will feature Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom with Shadow Heatran in Five-Star Shadow Raids. Meanwhile, Mega Raids see the return of Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Medicham, Mega Garchomp, Mega Gyarados, Mega Abomasnow, and Mega Glalie. Today&#8217;s raid guide for Pok\u00e9mon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Kyurem, who will have a stint as the Five-Star Raid Boss. Let&#8217;s get into it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EitJnbZXkAAvp2T-1-copy-90.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com\/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73\/w:600\/h:300\/q:75\/https:\/\/bleedingcool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EitJnbZXkAAvp2T-1-copy-90.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2327133 size-large\" title=\"Kyurem in Pok\u00e9mon GO.

Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Kyurem with efficiency.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Origin Forme Dialga: Metal Claw, Roar of Time<\/li>\n<li>Lucario: Force Palm, Aura Sphere<\/li>\n<li>Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword<\/li>\n<li>Metagross: Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash<\/li>\n<li>Black Kyurem: Dragon Tail, Freeze Shock<\/li>\n<li>Dialga: Metal Claw, Draco Meteor<\/li>\n<li>Rapid Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch<\/li>\n<li>Single Strike Urshifu: Counter, Dynamic Punch<\/li>\n<li>Origin Forme Palkia: Dragon Tail, Spacial Rend<\/li>\n<li>Dawn Wings Necrozma: Metal Claw, Moongeist Beam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How Many Trainers Are Needed?<\/p>\n<p>Kyurem can be defeated by two trainers. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pok\u00e9mon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.<\/p>\n<p>Shiny Odds &amp; 100% IVs<\/p>\n<p>The Shiny rate for Legendary Pok\u00e9mon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pok\u00e9mon with the best stats, the 100% IV Kyurem will have a CP of 2042 in normal weather conditions and 2553 in boosted conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Happy raiding, fellow trainers!
