Herdier Raid Guide

Artwork of Herdier from Pokémon GO Herdier

Herdier is a three star Normal type raid boss. Your best counters are strong Fighting types. Herdier is boosted by Partly Cloudy weather. Herdiers perfect CP from raid are:

  • 904 CP for a regular encounter (Level 20)
  • 1130 for a weather boosted encounter (Level 25 in Partly Cloudy weather)

As a three star raid boss Herdier is easily soloable for anyone with a decent team of Fighting type Pokémon. For lower level trainers who may have less ideal counters we recommend groups of 2-5.
