The Unlight Pokémon Magnayen from the Hoenn region has made Pokémon Go’s Tier 3 Raids its new home! Do you plan on challenging it and grabbing it? Then check out our Raid Guide for a few more tips on how to counter Magnayen, and you’ll be ready to take on your strongest attackers!
Magnayen isn’t necessarily the most interesting Pokémon in Pokémon Go, but at least the trainers who haven’t caught it yet have a chance to fill up their PokéDex – of course, whenever Magnayen shows up in the Pokémon Go Raids. But the Raid clock will turn again in the foreseeable future, so take your chances now to snag Magnayen! We’ve included useful tips and the best attackers in our counter guide to Magnayen in Pokémon Go – check it out below!
Magnayen as a raid boss
Magnayen is of the Unlight monotype and therefore has only three weaknesses that you can exploit: Battle (boosted on overcast days), Beetle (boosted on rainy days), and Fairy (boosted on overcast days). If you want to get the most out of your attackers, be sure to check the weather meter in the Pokémon Go app – it’s accurate, by the way, although the visual weather effect has been disabled for some time!
Magnayen isn’t a particularly strong raid opponent, but you can still cut your teeth on it if your rank isn’t that high yet or you haven’t had the chance to level up effective attackers. But if you’ve been a Pokémon Go trainer for a long time, Magnayen should be a cinch! Below is a list of the best attackers against the Unlight Pokémon.

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 Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
