Kartana is a Grass and Steel-type Ultra Beast Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. The best Kartana counters are powerful Fire-type Pokémon, which exploit its double weakness to Fire attacks. Strong Fighting-type Pokémon are also effective options.
Shiny Kartana is available, and you can catch it within the following CP ranges:
- 2010–2101 CP at Level 20, without a weather boost
- 2512–2626 CP at Level 25, with a Sunny or Snow weather boost
We recommend 1–5 high-level Trainers with strong counters to defeat Kartana. Bring a larger group if your Pokémon are lower level or you lack an optimal team. This guide covers the recommended counters, moves, and catch CP ranges to help you beat this origami-inspired Ultra Beast.
The best Kartana counter is Shadow Reshiram, closely followed by Blacephalon, Shadow Heatran, and Shadow Moltres. These powerful Fire-type Pokémon exploit Kartana’s double weakness to Fire, making quick work of this hard-hitting but fragile Ultra Beast.
