Bosses

The raid bosses in rotation now, plus every released Legendary, Mythical and Ultra Beast simulated as a Tier 5 boss (some, like Zygarde or Meloetta, have never been one). Pick a boss for its counters, its weaknesses and resistances, the CP it can be caught at, the moves it throws at you and which of its movesets is the hardest to raid against.

Rotation read from the committed LeekDuck snapshot, fetched 2026-10-04. Full counter tool.

In rotation now (17)

Everything a raider can walk out and fight today, at the tier LeekDuck lists it at.

Every Pokemon page carries its own half of this table under "Best against".

Every boss we rank (123)

Everything in rotation plus every released Legendary, Mythical and Ultra Beast at Tier 5, whether or not Niantic has ever run it as a raid — the pool the 'best against' answer on each Pokemon page is aggregated over. Pokemon not yet in Pokemon GO are listed separately below.

Showing 48 of 123 matching bosses (123 on the roster).

Not released in Pokemon GO (115)

In the Game Master but not obtainable as of 2026-10-03, so they are not ranked, not offered in the raid boss picker and never suggested as counters. Open one to simulate it anyway. 24 more (the Paradox Pokemon, Magearna, Terapagos...) carry only a placeholder moveset and appear in the Pokedex only. The 7 battle-only forms (Zen Mode Darmanitan, Ultra Necrozma...) are left out as well.
