Jynx is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokemon GO, with Boss CP of 18398. Best Jynx raid counters are a mix of super effective Pokemon like Metagross, Heatran, Moltres, Tyranitar, and Entei. Jynx can be solo raided starting at Level 28.

You can catch Jynx raid in the following CP range:

  • 1387 – 1460 CP (100% IV, no weather Boost)
  • 1734 – 1825 CP (perfect IV, Snow or Windy)

Jynx can be successfully solo raided due to relatively low defense and variety of available counters. Your counter teams may vary wildly when raiding Jynx.

With double resistance to Ice and Fairy, and resistance to Ice, Heatran is the most potion efficient Jynx counter in existence.

Like in many other match ups, Entei does not disappoint. A fast, reliable bulky Fire type to use against Jynx.

Jynx is a high DPS glass cannon with access to the following moves:

  • Confusion Psychic (fast)
  • Frost Breath Ice (fast)
  • Avalanche Ice (2 bar charged)
  • Psyshock Psychic (3 bar charged)
  • Draining Kiss Fairy (2 bar charged)

We always recommend raiding in weather that boosts raid bosses in order to reduce Stardust cost needed to power them up. Jynx is no exception here and Snow weather is a perfect opportunity to showcase how strong your Meteor Mash Metagross is. If you’re struggling with Jynx solo attempts, use Fire typed counters under Sunny weather.

Jynx really should not be a big problem to solo, despite its high DPS (the highest Ice type DPS aside from Mamoswine).
