Entei’ Raid Counters
Going into the Entei Raid, trainers will need Pokemon with a high defensive or HP stat or fast water attacks. Overall, the Entei raid is an average difficulty Legendary Pokemon raid to take down in Pokemon Go with a well-rounded team. The raid can be easily completed by a team of 2 to 4 trainers; a team of 2 to 6 trainers will make it easier but makes for a better completionist bonus. Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Blastoise or Mega Gyarados will make trainer’s lives easier. Ultimately, you will want to use Rock, Ground, and Water-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using grass, steel, or ice-type Pokemon.
