Arcanine Raid Guide

Posted in

Arcanine is a Tier 3 Legendary Raid Boss in Pokémon GO (19534 Combat Power). The best counters are strong Water and Rock-types such as Kyogre, Rampardos, Terrakion, Rhyperior, and Swampert. Arcanine is weak to Ground, Rock, and Water moves.

The following CP values are possible when caught in a post-raid encounter:

  • 1652 – 1731 CP for a regular Level 20 encounter
  • 2066 – 2164 CP for a Sunny weather boosted encounter (Level 25)

Best Arcanine Counters

Arcanine is a easy Tier 3 solo with the proper Rock, Water, and Ground counters. Beyond that, nearly any players can see success in groups of 2 or more.
