Entei

Entei is a very popular Pokemon. Earning a lot of fans from the 3rd Pokemon Movie, where it was the fearsome father figure of a empowered little girl. Entei is an extremely useful and powerful top tier Fire-Type (although there are strong arguments it is not the best). 

Entei takes 1.6x damage from Ground / Rock / Water .

Entei can be beaten by 2 players in optimal weather, with max friendship and perfect level 40 counters or by 4 unfriended players using level 20 counters from this guide. When caught, Entei will be between 1900 and 1984 cp without a weather boost. In Sunny/Clear weather, Entei will be between 2375 and 2480 when caught.

Release Period:

September 2, 2019, at 1 p.m. to September 9, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT

Event Info


Welcome to Week 1 of the 2019 Global Challenge Rewards!

 All 3 of the Beasts (Suicune, Entei, and Raikou) will be featured from September 2, 2019, at 1 p.m. to September 9, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT.

There is no reason to believe they will have increased shiny rates at this time. All 3 of them have already had there shiny forms revealed previously. If they are not given a boost, the shiny rate will be roughly 1/20 chance. If a shiny Legendary Pokemon  is encountered in a raid, it has a 100% catch chance (and thus you can use pinap berries for more candy). Note: rarely glitches occur making it possible to not catch the pokemon even under these circumstances.

This week will be themed on the region of Johto, and will also include:

– 2x Incubator Effectiveness.

– The release of Shiny Sentret and Gligar.

– Unown forms U, L, T, R, A hatching from 10k eggs.

– Other Johto pokemon in Raids.

 

Entei in the Meta


Raid Attacker – Fire Spin/Overheat (OR Flamethrower)

In terms of Fire-Type damage, Entei is sitting around #3, behind both Moltres (Fire Spin/Overheat) and community day Blaziken (Fire Spin/Blast Burn).

Prior to that, Entei was sitting as a tankier alternative to Moltres, with advantage in situations where Moltres’ Flying sub-typing harmed it. The most important one being Ice Pokemon with Ice Attacks.

Entei also has another major advantage, which is the moveset Flamethrower. While it has less raw power, being a 2 bar move allows it to be slightly more consistent and able to avoid wasting energy. That said, none of that means anything to Blast Burn Blaziken. Fighting Duel Typing doesn’t have any major downsides-and a couple upsides. Including an extra resistance to Bug and negating weakness to Rock.

Entei does have higher theoretical TDO than both of them, but he doesn’t have any clear niche where he is the #1 choice. That all said, the performance drop between him and them is rather marginal in most situations, and would only come up for more hardcore players.

Gym CombatIron Head/Flamethrower

Entei has favorable matchups against Metagross, Tangrowth, and Melmetal. If you choose to have Iron Head as your fast move, he also does well against Togekiss. Entei’s Fairy resistance is his main advantage here (something Blaziken lacks) but overall even here he lags between the two Fire Chickens. Still, he does manage to make it into Pokebattlers Top 25 Gym Attackers.

Closing Thoughts


Entei is back (and so is it’s shiny)! It’s both a very popular and powerful pokemon, making catching one more desirable than most. It still doesn’t quite top the Fire-Type charts, but it has carved out enough of a niche for itself to warrent picking some up!This Raid day will have something for everyone, and we’ll see if it proves to live up to the hype as Raikou did. Just be sure to come prepared with lots of Raid Passes!
