| Weather | Pro Attacker | Pro Garchomp |
| Sunny/Sunny | LVL25 encounter | Boosts Ground and Fire type moves |
| Partly Cloudy | – | – |
| Cloudy | Boosts Super Effective Fairy type attacks | – |
| Rainy | – | – |
| Snow | Boosts Super Effective Ice type attacks | – |
| Fog | – | – |
| Windy | Boosts Super Effective Dragon type attacks, LVL25 encounter | Boosts Dragon type moves |
Your top counters have Ice type moves which would be ideal as it doesn’t also boost Garchomp. However snow isn’t around in a lot of regions at the moment. It’s a fairy easy raid boss, so it would be best to go for the weather boosted encounter in Windy weather.
