TheLake Trio are returningandPokemon GOplayers have another chance to battle one of the three Legendary Raid Bosses during tonight’s Raid Hour. Players in the Americas and Greenland will be facing off against Azelf this time around.
Although the Lake Trio may be cute, the tiny Legendaries actually are pretty powerful and hold a decent spot inthe mobile AR game’s metagame. Trainers are going to need to approach these fights carefully and it would be a wise move to review the best counters currently available inPokemon GObefore facing off against the Legendary Psychic-type.

Because Azelf is a Psychic-type, that means players are going to want to take advantage of its weakness to Dark, Bug, and Ghost-types. Trainers should also be careful to avoid using Fighting- or Psychic-types, since it will resist those moves. It’s been a while since Azelf’s last appearance in raids and there aresome new Mega evolution countersavailable, so even experienced players may want to take the time to review their roster and make some updates…
Best Azelf Raid Hour Counters
As always, it’s not the end of the world if a trainer can’t assemble the perfect counter roster based on these suggestions. The most important thing is to enter the battle with enough friends (at least three or four mid- to high-level players) and to focus on using Pokemon that take advantage of the boss’ weaknesses. Raiders should have a decent amount ofDark-type Pokemonpowered up, so that’s a good place to start. Don’t hesitate to burn through some Stardust, Rare Candy, and TMs in order to properly prepare for the big fight.
That’s everything players should need to know to successfully complete this week’s Raid Hour in the Americas and Greenland. More details about upcoming events should arrivethroughout the Season of Mischief. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
