Kyogre is out and Groudon is in with the latest Pokemon GO Battle Raid boss list shakeup and trainers are now preparing for battle against the powerful Legendary ground-Type. Groudon is a very PvE relevant creature, so the Tier 5 battles are going to be very popular while this option is available. It can be a tough fight for players who aren't prepared, so trainers should take a minute to make sure they have the best counters powered up and ready.

Groudon initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids about two years ago, during a winter rotation. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and movesets available now and the strategy for the Raid has changed quite a bit. For players who still have an older roster saved, we thought it would be a good idea to post an update with the current best counters available.

Before tonight's Legendary Raid hour, players will want to revisit their Ground- counters and spend some Candy and Stardust to get the best team prepared. Grass-, Ice-, and Water- are going to be strongest here, so hopefully you spend the last weeks of June picking up some Kyogre Candy...

The biggest changes since Groudon's early Raid days will be the inclusion of Feraligatr, Roserade, and Palkia. Those are all some strong newer options that will help offer alternatives for players who don't have a high IV Kyogre army at the ready. Be sure to keep in mind that this raid rotation does have a chance for a shiny, so there's some extra motivation to get out and battle tonight.

Be sure to check back in the coming days for even more Pokemon GO news, updates, and strategy guides. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
