Blacephalon Raid Guide (Ultra Beast)

Blacephalon

Blacephalon is a Fire and Ghost type 5-Star Raid boss. This Ultra Beast is weak to Dark, Water, Ghost, Rock, and Ground types, so make sure you’re bringing your strongest of these types to battle.

It can be shiny!

You can capture Blacephalon in the following CP ranges:

• 1797 – 1884 CP at Lvl 20, 100% IV Blacephalon
• 2246 – 2355 CP during Sunny or Fog weather, at Lvl 25, 100% IV Blacephalon

Blacephalon is very attack weighted and would fit into the glass cannon category, so it’s recommended to have at least 2-5 Trainers to take it down, noting that it will pack a punch while on the field.
