Thundurus (Incarnate) Raid Counters Guide

Thundurus is a Tier 5 Raid Boss with max Raid CP of 46044. It’s an Electric and Flying Pokemon with a Max CP of 3345. Very much like Tornadus and Landorus, he has two forms, the Incarnate Form and the Therian form. However, keep in mind that we will battle the Incarnate Form. The Therian form is yet to be announced. In this guide, we will cover the best counters to take down Thundurus,  the best strategies, and what CPs you should watch out for after your successful battle.

Following Tornadus in February, Thundurus is the legendary Pokémon from Unova that will be available on raids starting March 2nd. Here’s the guide with everything you need to know if you are going to battle the Thunder Pokemon.

Both forms of Thundurus can be taken down with three trainers under ideal conditions. However, it is recommended that you use between 4-6 high-level trainers or 7-9 lower level trainers when taking on this legendary raid boss.

Thundurus-Incarnate can be caught with the following Combat Power values:

• 1861 – 1911 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
• 2326 – 2389 CP at Level 25 with Windy and Rainy weather boost

Thundurus counters

Thundurus

Supreme Thundurus raid counters
Rampardos	Smack Down Rock	Rock Slide Rock
Rampardos is the number one option to take down Thundurus with both Rock type moves and excellent performance in battle. Watch out for Brick Break Thundurus tough!
Mamoswine	Powder Snow Ice	Avalanche Ice
Super-effective, bulky and not afraid of anything that Thundurus has to offer.
Terrakion	Smack Down Rock	Rock Slide Rock
Pretty much like Rampardos, Terrakion is a beast against Thundurus, but you should exercise caution with Brick Break.
Rhyperior	Smack Down Rock	Rock Wrecker Rock
Thanks to Rhyhorn’s Community Day, Rhyperior is now a solid option with Rock Wrecker to smash Thundurus. Keep in mind Brick Break tough
Tyranitar	Smack Down Rock	Stone Edge Rock
Tyranitar is a solid option, but beware, because Thundurus has Brick Break, which can destroy it. If the list of suggested pokémon does not offer Tyranitar, its best to put it on the bench and go for all with it.
Great Thundurus raid counters
Glaceon	Frost Breath Ice	Avalanche Ice
Glaceon can do some damage to Thundurus thanks to it being a flying type. Glaceon its very squishy, so watch out closely for him, but he can do super effective damage nevertheless.
Weavile	Frost Breath Ice	Avalanche Ice
In the same scenario as Glaceon, Weavile is a very powerful ice type attacker that can deal a couple of super effective hits before he faints. Not a bad option either.
Mewtwo	Psycho Cut Psychic	Ice Beam Ice
Mewtwo is a strong Pokemon, a great generalist, and in this case, one can deal super effective damage without being a pure Ice Type Attacker. This is thanks to Ice Beam, so if you have some, go get Thundurs with it!
Gigalith	Smack Down Rock	Rock SlideRock
Gigalith moveset is pretty solid. Gigalith itself, not so much. Still, if you do not have proper rock type attackers, you can always bring Gigalith to finish the job.
