The only way to get Hisuian Samurott in Pokemon GO, besides trade, is to win Raid Battles. Shiny Hisuian Samurott is also available in the game, and to get your hands on this version, you have to beat the raid boss too. Trying to find it in the wild, through Pokemon encounter rewards of research tasks, or by hatching eggs aren’t useful attempts, so focus on winning Hisuain Samurott raids.
Shiny Hisuian Samurott is challenging to come across let alone catch, and due to this, one usually finds the regular form readily in the game. That said, in this article, we will detail the weaknesses and counters of this boss and how you can trade its variants with your GO friends.
How to get Hisuian Samurott in Pokemon GO 3-star raids?
By building strong raid parties for Hisuian Samurott in Pokemon GO 3-star raids, you’ll be able to defeat it. The best type moves to use against it are Bug, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Grass, as they are all 160% effective against this raid monster. Focus on these type weaknesses to increase your chances of success.
Exploiting vulnerabilities is a key plan to conquer raids, and in the case of getting Hisuian Samurott in Pokemon GO PvE, you should stick with this plan. It’s worth noting that it is resistant to Psychic, Dark, Fire, Grass, Ghost, Ice, Steel, and Water-type attacks. Thus, avoid using these moves, as they are completely useless for Hisuain Samurott raids.
The best counters deal significant damage, which is why you have to prioritize them when tackling Hisuian Samurott raids solo or with a team. The time limit to complete the raid is 180 seconds, so keep in mind that the weak counters might not help you win in time.
To beat Hisuain Samurrot in Pokemon GO raids, use the following regular, Mega, and Shadow Pokemon:
- Mega Lucario: Counter and Aura Sphere
- Mega Heracross: Counter and Megahorn
- Mega Sceptile: Fury Cutter and Frenzy Plant
- Terrakion: Double Kick and Sacred Sword
- Keldeo: Low Kick and Sacred Sword
- Kartana: Razor Leaf and Leaf Blade
- Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock and Wild Charge
- Shadow Machamp: Counter and Dynamic Punch
- Shadow Luxray: Spark and Wild Charge
Trainers can use the set of counters mentioned above or build their own by using Grass, Fighting, Bug, Electric, and Fairy-type moves. When Hisuian Samurott is taken down, one of its two variants will appear near the raid-hosting-Gyms. While the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Hisuian Samurott is low, you’re guaranteed to find a regular form unless there is an inconvenience.
