Entei
Entei is a Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, with a Raid Boss CP of 41758. It’s a pure Fire type, which means that best Entei counters are Ground, Rock and Water types. Entei can be caught in the following CP-ranges:
- 1900 – 1984 CP for a regular Level 20 encounter
- 2375 – 2480 CP for a Sunny weather boosted encounter (Level 25)
Duoing Entei is possible, but it would require maxed out counters, as well as Best Friend Bonus, Partly Cloudy, Rainy, or Sunny Weather Boost, and a good amount of luck.
Entei is available in their shiny form.
Entei is boosted by Sunny weather, with the suggestion that you take on Entei in groups of 3-6 for high-level players, or 7-20 for lower level players.

Weather Effects
Entei is boosted by Sunny weather, while being more vulnerable in Rainy and Partly Cloudy weather. Sunny weather will boost your Ground counters, and give you the chance to catch Entei at level 25, but the battle will be harder because of Entei’s boosted Fire moves. If you want the fight to be easier, challenge Entei in Rainy weather to boost your Water counters, or Partly Cloudy and Sunny to boost your Rock and Ground counters.
| Weather | Pro | Con |
|---|---|---|
| Sunny | Boosts Ground types | Boosts Entei’s Fire moves |
| Windy | – | – |
| Partly Cloudy | Boosts Rock types | – |
| Cloudy | – | – |
| Snow | – | Boosts Entei’s Heavy Slam Steel |
| Rainy | Boosts Water types | – |
| Fog | – | – |
