Pheromosa is a Bug and Fighting type 5-Star Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. The best Pheromosa counters are powerful Flying types, which exploit its double weakness to Flying attacks. Strong Fire, Psychic, and Fairy types are also effective options.

Shiny Pheromosa is available, so you may encounter one after winning a raid. Pheromosa raids are exclusive to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, but Trainers worldwide can join through Remote Raid invitations.

Pheromosa has a Raid Boss CP of 40,539 and can be caught within these CP ranges:

  • 1538–1624 CP at Level 20, without a weather boost.
  • 1922–2030 CP at Level 25, with a Rainy or Cloudy weather boost.

We recommend 2–5 high-level Trainers with strong counters. Bring a larger group if your team is lower-level or lacks suitable attackers, and prioritize Flying type moves to deal the most damage.

This Pheromosa raid guide covers its best counters, weaknesses, moves, stats, and catch CP to help you prepare your team and defeat this Ultra Beast.
