Pokemon GO Shiny Incarnate Thundurus

Pokemon GO Incarnate Thundurus is a Legendary with a CP that reaches a maximum of 3782. The monster’s maximum CP boosts even more as a 5-Star Raid Boss. On top of that, the monster possesses an offense-centric stat spread of 266 ATK, 164 DEF, and 188 STA. You should team up with others and avoid solo raiding to ensure the win.

There is a Shiny Incarnate Thundurus spawning possibility after you win the Incarnate Thundurus Raid in Pokemon GO. But the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed, and a Regular variant can spawn instead. You must encounter numerous Regular variants to match its Shiny odds, and it is only possible by winning numerous Incarnate Thundurus Raids.

You must analyze Incarnate Thundurus’s weaknesses and resistances thoroughly to consider Raid counters against it. The best counters must have moves that trigger the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) effect while falling under Incarnate Thundurus’s weaknesses. Unlike regular counters, Pokemon GO monsters with STAB potential attacks can inflict bonus damage on the Raid Boss. Below are Incarnate Thundurus’s weaknesses, resistances, and the best counters against it.
