Top Greavard Counters Raid icon

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.

Reminder: Mega-Evolved Pokémon give other Pokémon special bonuses when brought to a Raid Battle. While a Mega-Evolved Pokémon is on the battlefield, all Trainers’ Pokémon receive an attack boost to all their attacks and gain an additional attack boost if their attack types match the Mega-Evolved Pokémon’s type(s).

Fog Boosts Super Effective Ghost and Dark type attacks Boosts Ghost and Dark type moves
Windy Boosts Psychic type moves

As you can see, the only weather that will boost your top attackers, Fog, will also boost Greavard as a raid boss. It would be best to use a team of all Dark type attackers as Ghost attackers could be weak to Greavard’s potential movepool.
