Oranguru
Oranguru is a Tier 3 raid boss and is returning as part of the Young & Wise Event, which runs from 10am December 10th to 8pm December 14th.
Being a Normal and Psychic type, Oranguru is weak to Bug and Dark pokémon. Oranguru will be soloable for high level trainers with prepared teams. With 2-4 trainers, Oranguru can be defeated easily.
Oranguru can be caught with the following CP values:
- 1330 – 1400 CP at level 20, no weather boost
- 1662 – 1750 CP at level 25 with Partly Cloudy or Windy weather boost

Oranguru doesn’t really feature as a raid counter or as a must-have in any of the standard Great, Ultra or Master League formats, if there is a return of a Psychic cup in the future then it might come in handy. If you are shiny chasing, good luck!
All the best, trainers!
