Cresselia is a Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss in Pokémon GO (33794 Combat Power). Being a pure Psychic type, the best Cresselia counters are strong Bug, Dark, and Ghost type Pokémon.

Shiny Cresselia is available in Pokémon GO!

Cresselia can have the following CP values when caught in the post-raid capture encounter:

  • 1555 – 1633 CP, at Level 20 in normal weather conditions
  • 1944 – 2041 CP, at Level 25 in Windy weather

Cresselia can be duoed by 2 level 40 trainers running teams of Mega Beedrill / and Shadow Claw Gengars with Fog weather and best friend boosts. Realistically, 3-5 high-level players can tackle a Cresselia with proper counters, and 6-20 lower-level players can handle one.
