Onix Raid Guide

Onix is a Tier 1 raid boss with a Raid Boss CP of 3849. It may have a hefty defense stat, but it should be soloable for all trainers. It is boosted by Partly Cloudy and Sunny weather, being a Rock and Ground type Pokémon.

Onix is available as shiny from raids, and is considered a ‘permaboosted’ shiny, with rates of approximately 1 in 64. It evolves into Steelix, which has a Mega.

It can be caught at the following CP:

• 580-629 (level 20, non boosted)
• 725-787 (level 25, Sunny and Partly Cloudy)

Onix 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.
