PoGO – Pokémon GO: How to catch ALoLa Raichu in solo raid – counters and tips

You can currently catch 13 different ALoLa forms in Pokémon GO. One of them is the tropical Pikachu evolution ALoLa-Raichu, which you can only catch in Tier 3 Raids. We’ll show you here which counter Pokémon you can use to defeat and catch ALoLa Raichu on your own.

Two brand-new ALoLa forms, ALoLa Raichu and ALoLa Knogga, have been available in Pokémon GO since July 19. You can only get the two tropical pocket monsters in the raids and probably only until August 16, when Niantic’s app makers bring the next raid rotation into the game. We’ll show you which counter Pokémon you can use to send the Tier 3 boss ALoLa-Raichu into the dust and catch it solo in our .

Raid boss ALoLa-Raichu faces you with 16,178 CP and belongs to the Pokémon types Electro and Psycho. As a counter Pokémon, you can choose from a whole range of powerful Unlight, Ground, Spirit, and Beetle-type pocket monsters to send ALoLa-Raichu to the brink without any problems, even on his own.

The weather forecast

The toughest battle awaits you in rainy weather, which boosts ALoLa Raichu’s Electro attacks. Less dangerous is wind, which alone makes Raichu’s only Psycho attack hit harder. Both weather effects raise the tropical rascal’s boss level from 20 to 25, giving you a stronger Pokémon when you defeat and catch the raid boss:

  • With level 20 and no weather boost, a captured ALoLa Raichu has 1,158 to 1,224 WP,
  • with weather boost and level 25 over 1,447 to 1,532 WP.

Best raid conditions are sunny weather, which gives a boost to your ground attacks like Groudon’s Clay Shot or Earthquake, or fog, which boosts your Spirit and Unlight attacks. When it’s raining, on the other hand, it’s best to unpack a Beetle Pokémon, which, like Raichu’s Electric attacks, benefit from a cool down from above.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from .gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
