Entei Raid Guide


🥊 Personalized Entei Counters
📊Entei Raid Infographic
Entei– Volcano Pokémon
Entei is weak to the following types: x1 Water,
x1 Ground,
x1 Rock
Generally speaking, the best counters for it are:Kyogre, Rampardos and Rhyperior.
Entei can be beaten by 2 players in optimal weather, with max friendship and perfect level 40 counters or by 3 unfriended players using level 20 counters from this guide. When caught, Entei will be between 1900 and 1984 cp without a weather boost. In Clear weather, Entei will be between 2375 and 2480 when caught.
Raid Meta –
Fire Fang /
Overheat +
Flamethrower
Entei used to be among the best fire types, 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. Now with Shadow Pokemon, Megas and Reshiram Entei is far less notable.
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.PVP Meta –
Fire Spin /
Flame Charge +
Iron Head +
Overheat
Entei in raids aren’t Great League eligible generally, but he can be used in Ultra and Master. He was granted access to Flame Charge which is a fantastic bait move that powers up his damage. Iron head is coverage against Rock and Dragon Types but doesn’t help against Fire and Steel resistance. You can also opt to just be a nuke with Overheat, using Flame Charge to replenish your attack stat to nuke again. Does well against Registeel, Cresselia, and Articuno. His strongest showing is in Master League.• Mega Blastoise– Best in General simulations.
• Shadow Swampert– Great in General simulations.
• Shadow Tyranitar– Great in General simulations.
• Shadow Gyarados– Great in General simulations.
Less relavant Shadow and Mega Pokemon:Shadow Omastar, Shadow Mewtwo, Shadow Blastoise, Shadow Politoed, Shadow Flygon, Shadow Sharpedo, Shadow Salamence, Shadow Golduck, Mega Gengar, Shadow Poliwrath, Shadow Dragonite, Mega Ampharos, Shadow Lapras

If you need to increase your survivability, Parkia and Kyogre can tank a hit easy. If resources are no limitation, go with Mega Blastoise, it tops the performance in almost every area.
Down at Level 20, Mega Blastoise* and Shadow Tyranitar* can beat Entei in Partly Cloudy. If you want to avoid Shadow/Mega pokemon, Rampardos and Rhyperior can pull it off at level 30. Kinglier and Swampert* are water pokemon who can do it at level 30 too.
