Fletchinder Raid Guide

Posted in
Fletchinder

Fletchinder is a Fire and Flying type tier 3 Raid boss. It is weak to Electric Water and is 2x weak to Rock. It cannot be encountered as shiny. It’s evolution, Talonflame, has some use in PVP with the right moveset, so picking up a high IV Fletchinder may be of interest to you.

Fletchinder has a Raid Boss CP at 10733, and you can catch it in the following CP Ranges:

  • 785 CP to 839 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 981 CP to 1041 CP at Level 25, with Sunny or Windy weather boost

Fletchinder is one of the easier tier 3 raid bosses, and is soloable for the prepared trainer with good counters. Lower level trainers, or those without ideal counters, may want to bring a friend.

Best Fletchinder 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.

The best raid counters according to our GO Hub battle simulator for Fletchinder are:
