Xerneas, the Legendary cover monster from Pokemon X, has arrived in Pokemon Go. As part of the ongoing Luminous Legends X event, the Gen 6 Legendary is appearing in five-star Raids until May 18, making this your first chance to catch one in Niantic’s mobile game. If you need help adding it to your collection, we’ve rounded up some Xerneas counters and other tips on how to beat and catch the Life Pokemon.

Xerneas Weaknesses And Counters

Xerneas is a pure Fairy type, making it the first Legendary Pokemon of its kind in the series. This typing gives Xerneas two primary weaknesses, Poison and Steel, so your best bet is to use Pokemon of those types when battling it in RaidsVenir de Tragamonedas Gratis Online. Here are some recommended Pokemon of each type:

• Poison: Mega Gengar, Mega Beedrill, Mega Venusaur, Roserade, Vileplume
• Steel: Metagross, Lucario, Heatran, Empoleon, Excadrill

While any of those Pokemon will be helpful when battling Xerneas, especially if they know Fast and Charged Attacks of their respective type, Heatran in particular is a good counter to bring along if you have one. Since both of its types (Fire and Steel) resist Fairy-type attacks, Heatran will last longer in battle against Xerneas than most other monsters, and it can hit the Legendary back with super-effective damage.
