Xurkitree

Xurkitree is an Electric-type Five-Star Raid boss in Pokémon GO, with a Raid Boss CP of 53,279. The best Xurkitree counters are powerful Ground-type Pokémon. This guide covers the recommended counters, moves, catch CP ranges, and how many Trainers you need to beat it.

Xurkitree raids are available in the Asia-Pacific region, but Trainers worldwide can join through Remote Raid invitations. Shiny Xurkitree is available, and you can catch it within the following CP ranges:

• 2155–2249 CP at Level 20, without a weather boost

We recommend 2–5 high-level Trainers with strong counters to defeat Xurkitree. Bring a larger group if your Pokémon are lower level or you lack an optimal team.
