Pokémon GO Shadow Cresselia Counters & Battle Guide

Tips and Tricks

Communication is the key to this team battle! Not only do you need to plan your Mega Evolved Pokémon team positions and counter Pokémon, you also need to plan when to use Purification Crystals, so be sure to communicate with your fellow trainers.

We recommend that trainers who have top-level and fully enhanced restraint Pokémon and have purification crystals can form a team of more than 5 people; for trainers with lower levels or who do not have ideal restraint Pokémon, we recommend that a team of more than 8-10 people be formed. Purifying crystals is a must!

Although Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up, we have listed the top Shadow Pokémon that you can use against Shadow Cresselia. Before you consider adding these Pokémon to your team, make sure they have learned a non-anger move. If you have these options, while they will take more damage than non-Shadow Pokémon, they can also deal more damage.

We highly recommend using it in Shadow Cresselia group battlesMega Evolved Pokémon. They not only provide higher damage output, but also increase the damage of Pokémon of the same attribute in group battles. We recommend discussing your counter Pokémon choices with your fellow trainers and planning Mega Evolved Pokémon and their positions on the team accordingly.

For example, if you have a team of 6, the first person should put the Mega Evolved Pokémon in position 1, the next in position 2, the next in position 3, and so on, so that you can try to maintain the Mega Evolution bonus throughout the group battle.

Since these are live-only team battles, you can do so through Party Play (squad cooperation)! Come take advantage of the “Squad Power” team battle bonus. Squad Power is a group battle bonus that fills up when your squad members attack the group battle boss. Once the Squad Power bonus is full, your next special move will gain a special bonus. You can see the team power button and the progress of achieving bonuses in the lower left corner of the team battle screen.
