Overview
Landorus - Incarnate Forme can really pack a punch, and has some nasty coverage moves that can make the duo a hard-fought battle. It's genuinely hard to say which charged move is the worst to fight, as its coverage is just phenomenal. Regardless of moveset, Ice Types should definitely be your choice for this raid, as their massive DPS cannot be ignored.
Approach
Team composition
- Landorus - Incarnate Forme is weak to Ice and Water.
- Ice is the winner here, hands-down. While most Ice Types are a bit weaker than the top Water Types, Landorus' double weakness to it makes it the absolute optimal type in this raid, even in the rain.
- Water is substantially weaker here, but it's still at least usable.
Battling strategy
-
Re-entering will be pretty likely for the duo, the trio can avoid it
-
Dodging is definitely recommended if you're packing a high DPS team
Note: "Good" movesets are not necessarily viable at the level indicated.
Best Raid Boss Counters
Mega Evolution Counters
Mega Glalie
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Avalanche | Best |
The DPS Mega of choice, Mega Glalie is always a great choice for its ability to abuse Landorus' double-weakness to Ice. It's hard to go wrong with this overgrown ball of ice.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Mega Abomasnow
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
While a bit under Mega Glalie in general, Mega Abomasnow has superior TDO in most cases thanks to its Grass sub-typing granting it a resistance to Landorus' Ground Type moves.
- Strengths: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Primal Kyogre
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
Despite lacking an Ice Type Fast Move and STAB on Blizzard, Primal Kyogre is actually semi-close to Mega Abomasnow in terms of DPS, but with a lot more TDO. Its only down-side in this regard is the fact that it doesn't buff Ice Types while on the field, but it does at least boost the team passively just by existing.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: None
Supreme Counters
Shadow Mamoswine
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Powder Snow | Avalanche | Best |
If you have a team of Shadow Mamoswine ready to go, you've basically won this raid. Its DPS is actually solo-worthy, to the point where a solo would be viable in Snowy weather. Technically it's solo-worthy in any weather around lv.40, but its TDO isn't the absolute best, so dodging may drag its DPS back down ta bit
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Focus Blast
Galarian Darmanitan
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
a Vanilla-Ice Type at its finest; a great option that puts in good work, though it is a bit frail
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Mamoswine
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Powder Snow | Avalanche | Best |
The old classic, Shadow Mamoswine may not be solo-viable like its Shadow, but it's still outstanding in its own right.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Focus Blast
Shadow Weavile
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
While really frail overall, Shadow Weavile's sheer DPS output is surpassed only by Shadow Mamoswine, so it's worth considering.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast (2x)
Baxcalibur
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
Baxcalibur has some solid power that makes it a good option against Landorus, but its Dragon sub-typing is purely a hinderance in this case.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Outrage, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Great Counters
Shadow Mewtwo
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Psycho Cut | Ice Beam | Best |
Yet another raid guide with Shadow Mewtwo! Among the relatively low-powered Pokemon in the Ice Type, Shaodw Mewtwo's Ice Beam is actually a very strong option, so it's definitely worth using here.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Fighting
Glaceon
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Avalanche | Best |
One of the most accessible "good" Ice Types, Glaceon is definitely a worthwhile Pokemon for this raid.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Cetitan
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
Cetitan is another Pokemon that's easily overlooked, but it actually can put in solid work here.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Shadow Abomasnow
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
A strong Ice Type with a resistance to Ground Type attacks, but it's still pretty frail.
- Strengths: Mud Shot, Earth Power
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Shadow Walrein
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Icicle Spear | Best |
While easy to overlook, Shadow Walrein is actually another very good Ice Type attacker that's worth bringing to this raid.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Shadow Articuno
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Ice Beam | Best |
The mascot of Team Mystic in its corrupted form, Shadow Articuno is a solid pick overall... just so long as it's not facing down Rocks.
- Strengths: Mud Shot (2x), Earth Power (2x)
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw (2x), Rock Slide (2x)
Mewtwo
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Psycho Cut | Ice Beam | Best |
While not on a par with its Shadow forme, Mewtwo can still drop a lot of damage on Landorus thanks to Ice Beam
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: None
Shadow Regice
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Blizzard | Best |
Yup, I'm as surprised as you are; with the Shadow boost, Regice is actually kind of decent here. Not GREAT, but decent.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Shadow Lapras
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Ice Beam | Best |
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast

| Dragon Breath | Glaciate | Best |

- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Outrage, Rock Slide, Focus Blast
Glass Counters
Shadow Porygon-Z
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
It's going to need Hidden Power Ice in order to operate well, but it's surprisingly strong and fun to utilize. Hidden Power Water can also work in a pinch.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Focus Blast
Weavile
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
One of the older "good" Ice Types, Weavile still works well when needed.
- Strengths: None
- Weaknesses: Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Focus Blast (2x)
Shadow Cloyster
| Fast Move | Charge Move | Rating |
|---|
| Frost Breath | Avalanche | Best |
- Strengths: None
