Ghostbusters Day in Pokémon GO: On November 3, the purple glass cannon Gengar will occupy all Raids from 11 am to 2 pm.

With the current raid rotation of October 24, Gengar has also returned to Pokémon GO’s arenas. But that was apparently not enough for Niantic’s app makers, because on November 3, the game maker is calling for another Raid challenge – this time with the purple glass cannon. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at noon, Gengar will occupy all raids and will have the two exclusive attacks Licker (Spirit, instant attack) and Psychokinesis (Psycho) in his luggage. During the event, Niantic will give you five free Raid Passes. If you’re lucky, you can also encounter a Shiny Gengar in the raids.

Pokémon GO: These Gen 4 Pokémon have been spotted so far

By default, the purple pocket monster enters the ring as a Tier 3 boss, but it will likely receive an upgrade to Tier 4 during Saturday’s Raid Challenge. In terms of Raid practice, this means that even high-level trainers will no longer be able to send Gengar solo onto the arena boards. Pokémon GO Hub’s pocket monster experts recommend players level 30 and above tackle the boss in threes, but they also think a duo raid is possible with weather and friendship bonuses. As a dual-type Spirit/Poison Pokémon, Gengar takes very effective damage from Spirit, Unlight, Psycho, and Ground attacks. Whether solo, duo, or trio raiding, Gengar’s counters remain the same.

Pokémon GO: The best counters against Gengar

• Mewtu (Psycho) with Confusion (Psycho) and Haunted Ball (Spirit, Legacy Move) or Psychokinesis (Psycho)
• Gengar (Spirit/Poison) with Dark Claw (Spirit, Legacy Move) or Burden (Spirit) and Haunted Ball (Spirit)
• Simsala (Psycho) with Confusion (Psycho) and Seer (Psycho)
• Psiana (Psycho) with Confusion (Psycho) and Seer (Psycho)
• Despotar (Rock/Unlight) with Bite (Unlight) and Crusher (Unlight)
• Metagross (Steel/Psycho) with Zen Headbutt (Psycho) and Star Slash (Steel)
• Groudon (Ground) with Clay Shot (Ground) and Earthquake (Ground)
• Guardevoir (Psycho/Fairy) with Confusion (Psycho) and Haunted Ball (Spirit)
• Lugia (Psycho/Flight) with Special Sensor (Psycho) and Seer (Psycho)

Pokémon GO: Second choice counter against Gengar

• Banette (Spirit) with Dark Claw (Spirit) and Haunted Ball (Spirit)
• Latios (Dragon/Psycho) with Zen Headbutt (Psycho) and Psychokinesis (Psycho)
• Deoxys (Psycho) with Zen Headbutt (Psycho) and Thunderbolt (Electro)
• Rayquaza (Dragon/Flight) with Dragon Rod (Dragon) and Rage Attack (Dragon)
• Dragoran (Dragon/Flight) with Dragon Rod (Dragon) and Rage Attack (Dragon)
• Kokowei (Plant/Psycho) with Confusion (Psycho) and Psychokinesis (Psycho)

Pokémon GO: Gengar’s Attacks

Normally, Gengar has two of these five abilities:

Whether the Raid boss will also have his two event attacks Licker (Spirit) and Psychokinesis (Psycho) up his sleeve on Saturday has not yet been leaked in advance.

By far the best counter Pokémon against the purple monster is Mewtu, but even the former EX Raid boss quickly reaches its limits against a Gengar with Spookball: Like its Psycho counterparts Psiana or Simsala, Mewtu also takes very effective damage from Gengar’s Spirit attacks. The best choice here is Groudon or Despotar. On the other hand, if the raid boss has Focus Strike, you should avoid Despotar, which has a double weakness to combat attacks.

Pokémon GO: The weather forecast

Gengar itself is enhanced by cloudy and foggy weather. As a reward for the increased difficulty, you will receive a stronger Pokémon if you defeat and catch the raid boss:

• At level 20 and without weather boosting, a captured Gengar has 1,420 to 1,496 WP,
• with weather boost and level 25 it has 1,776 to 1,870 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.
