Today marks the start of a new EX Raid rotation, so Pokemon GO players are likely going to be out trying to trigger invites once again. The last Deoxys forme stuck around for a long time, but it is finally time for the Speed Forme to take the spotlight.

Once players manage to secure an EX Raid invite, the next step is preparing an ideal battle roster for the big fight. Speed Forme Deoxys is a Psychic time, so Ghost- and Dark-types are going to be the bread and butter of the best counter rosters.

Luckily, many of the best counters for this particular fight are ones that have also been useful at some point in the past. Hopefully that means most trainers have already invested Candy and Stardust into these Battle Raid all-stars.

Best Counters

Giratina (Origin) -Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball

Tyranitar - Bite, Crunch

Gengar - Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball

Mewtwo - Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball

Weavile - Feint Attack, Foul Play

Players should be sure to keep in mind that EX Raid Battles can be pretty tough and shouldn't be solo'd or duo'd. We recommend heading in with no less than 5 high level players or 9 average level players.

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