Cryogonal Raid Guide

Cryogonal is a pure Ice type Pokémon whose best counters consist of mostly Fighting Fire Rock and Steel type Pokémon.

Cryogonal has a tier 3 raid boss CP of 18775, and can be caught with the following CP values:

1525 – 1598 CP at Level 20 with no weather boost
1905 – 1998 CP at Level 25 with Snow weather boost

As a tier 3 raid boss, Cryogonal shouldn’t give you too much trouble. For a high level prepared trainer it should be an easy solo, but those who are lower level or who don’t have ideal counters may want to bring a pal.

Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
