Hoopa Pokémon GO Raid Guide: Weakness, Counters, and Hundo CP

Are you ready to face off against Hoopa in Pokémon GO? Hoopa has finally made its return to Pokémon GO, and this time, there are no Elite Raids in the picture. Hoopa Unbound will be the star of a special Raid Day, happening on Saturday, Feb. 15, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

Moreover, in Pokémon GO, you can now change Hoopa's form whether or not you've completed the Mischief Unbound Special Research. This means you can obtain both forms of Hoopa during this Raid Day.

Hoopa Unbound is an extremely powerful Psychic - type attacker in Pokémon GO, ranking higher than Pokémon such as Lunala, Latios, and both Necrozma Fusion forms. So, here's all the essential information you need to know when taking on Hoopa Unbound in Pokémon GO.

Best Hoopa Counters in Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, Hoopa is weak against Fairy - type attacks and has a double weakness to Bug - type attacks. It only has one resistance, which is to Psychic - type attacks.

Here are the top counters for Hoopa Unbound:

Mega Pinsir

Fury Cutter & X-Scissor

Mega Scizor

Fury Cutter & X-Scissor

Mega Heracross

Struggle Bug & Megahorn

Volcarona

Bug Bite & Bug Buzz

Genesect

Fury Cutter & X-Scissor

Scizor

Fury Cutter & X-Scissor

Vikavolt

Yanmega

Bug Bite & Bug Buzz

Golisopod

Fury Cutter & X-Scissor

Escavalier

Bug Bite & Megahorn

Lokix

Bug Bite & Bug Buzz

Durant

Bug Bite & X-Scissor

Bug - type Pokémon aren't often used in Pokémon GO, so many of these top Hoopa counters might be Pokémon you haven't powered up or used before. Escavalier was featured in last weekend's Pokémon GO Community Day, making it a great addition to your team.

Otherwise, Scizor, Genesect, and Volcarona are Pokémon that many Trainers likely already have in their collections.

Besides these Bug - types, other Pokémon that know Bug - type moves are also great options, considering Hoopa's double weakness to Bug - type attacks. This includes Pokémon like Xerneas, Mega Sceptile, Kartana, and Keldeo.

Can Hoopa be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

No, Hoopa cannot be shiny in Pokémon GO. So far, the shiny version of Hoopa has never been released in any Pokémon game.
