The first trainers in Pokémon GO are already warming up their casting arm, as the first hints of the fourth generation have emerged in recent weeks. The new Kirlia evolution Galagladi will also be part of the game. The fact that Kirlia is currently wreaking havoc in the Tier 2 Raids comes in handy. We’ll show you which counter Pokémon you can use to defeat and catch the raid boss solo the fastest here.
Niantic has not officially announced the fourth Pokémon generation yet, but a handful of hints that have surfaced in recent weeks could point to its imminent arrival in Pokémon GO. If you want to prepare for the new pocket monsters after the photo bomb of the three starter monsters Chelast, Panflam, and Plinfa on the app’s second birthday and the supposed leak of an event for the launch of the 4th gen, you have the opportunity to do so in Pokémon GO’s current raid rotation.
From July 19 to August 16, you can meet the Trasla evolution Kirlia in the Tier 2 Raids, whose male conspecifics receive the new evolution Galagladi with the fourth generation. In our guide, we’ll show you which counter mon is the easiest way to single-handedly send the raid boss to the brink of destruction and thus already collect as many Trasla candies as possible.
By the way, other pocket monsters that are currently doing their thing in the raids and receive a new evolution with the 4th generation are: Magmar (Tier 2, becomes Magbrant), Porygon (Tier 3, becomes Porygon-Z via Porygon2) and Rizeros (Tier 4, becomes Rihornior).
Pokémon GO: How to catch ALoLa Raichu in solo raid – counters and tips
Raid boss Kirlia faces you with 6,005 CP, belongs to the types Fairy and Psycho and can be defeated and caught solo without major difficulties. The counter Pokémon of your choice have Spirit, Poison or Steel attacks.
Since its introduction with the third generation, Trasla can evolve into Kirlia and then into the Psycho Fairy Pokémon Guardevoir. With the fourth generation, on the other hand, you can upgrade male Kirlia to the Psycho Battle Pokémon Galagladi.
The three best counter Pokémon in battle against Kirlia
- Gengar with Dark Claw (Spirit) and Haunted Ball (Spirit)
- Mewtu with Psycho Blade (Psycho) and Haunted Ball (Spirit)
- Metagross with Cartridge Slash (Steel) and Light Cannon (Steel)
Good counter Pokémon in the fight against Kirlia

- Simsala with Psycho Blade (Psycho) and Spook Ball (Spirit)
- Banette with Dark Claw (Ghost) and Haunted Ball (Ghost)
- Dragoran with Steel Wing (Steel) and Gale (Flight)
- Sarzenia with Acid (Poison) and Mud Bomb (Poison)
Kirlia has two of these five attacks at her disposal
- Charge Beam (Electro, Instant Attack)
- Confusion (Psycho, instant attack)
- Psychokinesis (Psycho, Charge Attack)
- Shadow Strike (Spirit, Charge Attack)
- Whispering Voice (Fairy, Charge Attack)
The weather outlook
According to the Pokémon GO Hub, Kirlia is not really dangerous in any weather, but the best raid conditions are in cloudy weather. Just like wind, clouds boost Kirlia’s level from 20 to 25, but unlike windy weather, they don’t give the raid boss’s only two powerful psychic attacks a damage bonus.
- With level 20 and no weather boost, the captured raid boss has 440 to 481 WP,
- With weather boost and level 25, the captured raid boss has 551 to 602 WP.
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.
