Thundurus is a Tier 5 Raid Boss with max Raid CP of 46044. It’s an Electric and Pokémon with a Max CP of 3345. Very much like Tornadus and Landorus, they have 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.
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
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.
