Dawn Wings Necrozma
Mega Gengar
Mega Tyranitar
Mega Absol
Shadow Darkrai
Shadow Hydreigon

🔥 Shadow Cresselia Weaknesses
Shadow Cresselia is weak to:
Dark-type attacks
Ghost-type attacks
Bug-type attacks
Avoid using Fighting or Psychic Pokémon, as they won’t be effective in this raid.
👥 Raid Difficulty
This is a tough Shadow Tier 5 Raid, and it’s recommended to have at least 3–5 strong trainers depending on your counters and use of Purified Gems. Shadow Raids are harder than normal raids, so preparation is key!
✨ Is Shiny Shadow Cresselia Available?
Yes! You have a chance to encounter a Shiny Shadow Cresselia after defeating the raid boss—but it’s not guaranteed, so be prepared to grind multiple raids.
