The Shadow version of Entei is entering Pokemon GO Raids on weekends, and here is how you can add this powerful Fire-type Legendary to your roster.
Shadow Entei Weakness & Type Effectiveness
Entei is a pure Fire-type Pokemon, which means it is vulnerable to Water, Ground, and Rock-type moves. That said, it can bring Ground and Steel-type moves into battle, so we recommend you use Water or Ground-type Pokemon to avoid taking any extra damage.
| Pokemon | Type | Vulnerable To | Strong Against | Resistant To |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Shadow Entei | Fire | Water Ground Rock | Grass Ice Bug Steel Fire Electric Poison Rock Fairy | Fire Grass Ice Bug Steel Fairy |
Seeing Entei’s laundry list of resistances and the wide range of coverage it has for damage, it’s best to stick with Ground or Water-type Pokemon. In fact, Water types are preferred as they resist both Fire and Steel-type damage.
Best Counters for Shadow Entei Pokemon GO Raids
As mentioned above, the list below will consist mainly of Water-type Pokemon. Since Entei is a bit challenging, a large portion of the list is made up of Legendary and Uber Pokemon. Here are the top 10 Shadow Entei counters in Pokemon GO:
| Pokemon | Moves |
|---|---|
 Primal Kyogre | Waterfall Origin Pulse |
 Mega Swampert | Water Gun Hydro Cannon |
 Mega Blastoise | Water Gun Hydro Cannon |
 Primal Groudon | Mud Shot Prceipice Blades |
 Mega Garchomp | Mud Shot Earth Power |
 Mega Gyarados | Waterfall Hydro Pump |
 Feraligatr | Water Gun Hydro Cannon |
 Greninja | Water Shuriken Hydro Cannon |
 Rhyperior | Mud-Slap Rock Wrecker |
 Landorous (Therian) | Mud Shot Sandsear Storm |
Shadow Entei is pretty tough, and some of its movesets are nearly impossible to overcome. We recommend at least four trainers team up for these raids, and each trainer needs to have teams of Pokemon that are above 3,500 CP. Don’t bother wasting your Raid Passes if you don’t meet this criteria.
