Lairon Raid Guide

Artwork of Lairon from Pokémon GO Lairon

Lairon is a Tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO. Lairon evolves into Aggron, a defensive behemoth with its own Mega Evolution.

Being a Steel and Rock type, it is weak to the Water types, but it is double weak to Fighting and Ground type attacks, making these the best choice for your counters.

Lairon can be caught with the following CP values:

  • 1110 – 1174 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
  • 1388 – 1468 CP at Level 25 with Snow or Partly Cloudy weather boost

High-level trainers can solo Lairon. But in general, 2-3 trainers can take down Lairon without much effort.
