Drowzee Counters

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 being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it. The figures in our database for DPS and TDO are calculated using Level 40 Pokémon with perfect IVs.

Moveset

Drowzee’s evolution Hypno is a decent Pokémon for the Great League, and very good in some limited metas like the Single-type Cup so it might be useful to collect candy for this Pokémon via Drowzee raids.
