Dondozo Raid Counters Guide

Dondozo

Dondozo is a pure Water-type Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO. Top counters include strong Electric– and Grass-type Pokémon. Dondozo can be shiny!

After beating the raid, you will encounter Dondozo with the following CP values:

• 1633 – 1712 CP (Level 20, no weather boost)
• 2041 – 2140 CP (Level 25, boosted by Rainy weather)

Dondozo is quite bulky so we recommend 2–3 high-level trainers with optimal counters, but trainers can even solo it with strong Pokémon. If your team is lower-level or lacks ideal Pokémon, bring additional friends to ensure success!

This guide covers everything you need to defeat Dondozo: best counters, CP values, optimal moves, and more.
