Lunala Raid Guide (Best Counters, 100% IVs CPs)

August 18, 2026

3 min.

Lunala is a Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, and it can be shiny from Raids, finally making its debut! After defeating Lunala, it can be caught with the following CP values:

2219 – 2310 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
2774 – 2887 CP at Level 25 with Windy or Fog weather boost

With good counters, Lunala can be defeated by 3 Trainers. To be safe, 4-6 high-level Trainers will definitely get the job done, but less prepared Trainers may need to bring a larger squad. For those who are up for a bigger challenge, Lunala solo raids are also a possibility.
