The latest accomplishments at Pokemon GO's Fest in Dortmund unlocked some great bonuses, including a special Entei Raid Day event. Entei hasn't appeared in Battle Raids for quite some time, so it would be wise to revisit your counter roster and take into account all of the new evolutions and Pokemon that have recently been released. Entei 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.

Entei initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids about two years ago, during a summer 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 the July 14 Raid Day event, players will want to revisit their Fire- counters and spend some Candy and Stardust to get the best team prepared. Ground-, Water-, and Rock- are going to be strongest here, so hopefully you spend the last weeks of June picking up some Kyogre Candy…

Tyranitar and Gyarados may be familiar, but the rest of this counter group wasn't really an option the first time Entei was around. There are lots of 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 special raid event does have a chance for a shiny, so there’s some extra motivation to get out and battle during the three-hour window when it arrives.

Collecting shiny Pokemon doesn’t give the trainer any kind of advantage in battle, but it is still a fun additional challenge to add into the game. Shiny Pokemon are perfect for leaving in Gyms to show off to the rest of the community.

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!
