Kirlia Raid Counters Guide

Posted in

Kirlia

Kirlia is a Psychic and Fairy Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO. Kirlia is weak to the Ghost, Poison, and Steel types, with plenty of options available to counter it. 

Kirlia can evolve into a Garveoir (male or female) or a Gallade (male). Mega Gardevoir is the best Fairy type in the game for PvE and even normal Gardevoir ranks within the top 10. Gallade also has a cool mega evolution which we’re bound to see by the time the Sinnoh Tour rolls around.

Kirlia can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 508 – 552 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 635 – 690 CP at Level 25 with Windy or Cloudy weather boost

Most trainers can easily solo Kirlia due to it’s frailty, while trainers of a low level might need 2-3 trainers to take it down.

Kirlia Raid Counters

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.
