Mega Houndoom Raid Counters Guide

Mega Houndoom

Mega Houndoom is a Dark and Fire-type Mega Pokémon, and it is weak to Fighting, Ground, Rock, and Water type moves.

You cannot catch Mega Houndoom from the Raid. Rather, you’ll encounter regular Houndoom, which can be caught with the following CP values :

• 1432 – 1505 CP at level 20, no weather boost
• 1790 – 1882 CP at level 25 with Fog or Sunny weather boost

It is possible to duo Mega Houndoom in weather conditions where your counters are boosted. It also helps that Mega Houndoom isn’t too bulky. In all other cases, around 3-5 Trainers with strong and high-level counters can take down the Raid Boss with relative ease, no matter what the weather in the game is like.
