Against Tapu Bulu, Latias and Raikou, prepare counters to their mechanics as well as damage. Use the site's search to find counter pairs including their grids.
The three opponents and scheduled event datesOfficial producer letterwas checked.
664 pairs counted once per pair ID. Includes regular, buddy, sync, max and Tera moves, passives, grids at move levels 1–5, Superawakening and post-transformation effects. These are candidate counts including chance, random and conditional effects.
Plan counters for all three battles
| Opponents | Main counters | Attack weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Tapu Bulu | Replace Grassy Terrain; interference and status; Attack drops and Defense support | Flying → Poison → Flying |
| Latias | Multiple-stat drops, never-miss or accuracy support, and side-enemy control | Dragon → Fairy → Fairy |
| Raikou | Speed drops, critical-hit support, rain replacement and side-enemy control | Ground |
Candidates below were selected by matching official tips to the site's move and grid data, not by clearing these teams in battle. Energy shown is each tile's cost, excluding its path.
Tapu Bulu: Limit Grassy Terrain healing
Grassy Terrain boosts Tapu Bulu's Grass moves and healing. Use trapping, confusion, flinching or status to interfere with recovery. Its physical attacks are strong, so combine Attack drops, Defense buffs and healing. Interference resistance increases when the effect wears off; prioritize use during Grassy Terrain.Official battle tips
Search includes Electric, Psychic and Misty Terrain setup. Effects that only create normal or EX Grassy Terrain are excluded; pairs that can use other terrains are included.
Bianca and Musharna can replace the terrain with Psychic Terrain; Volkner and Luxray can use Electric Terrain. Move-refresh grid tiles may allow reapplication, but refresh is probabilistic.
Acerola&PalossandTry flinching with one-gauge Astonish.
- Astonish: Aggravation 1Move Lv. 1 · Energy 10
Increases extra-effect chances. Resistance strengthens each time interference ends, so use it while Grassy Terrain is active.
Plumeria&SalazzleUses Poison attacks and poisoning, adding flinching to Smog.
- Smog: Staggering 4Move Lv. 2 · Energy 10
- Hostile Environment 1Move Lv. 2 · Energy 3
Check Smog accuracy too. Flinching occurs probabilistically on a hit.
Bianca&MusharnaReplace Grassy Terrain with Psychic Terrain and support later reapplications.
- Psychic Terrain: MP Refresh 3Move Lv. 1 · Energy 7
Refresh is probabilistic. Changing weather or zones alone does not remove Grassy Terrain.
Sygna Suit Lysandre (Alt.)&Chi-Yu (Tera Type: Fire)A candidate combining Attack drops and trapping.
- Overwhelm 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
- Fire Spin: Accuracy +10Move Lv. 2 · Energy 5
Fire attacks do not match the weakness. The grid adds Attack drops; Fire Spin supplies trapping.
View eight other counter candidates
Skyla&SwannaAdds Gust flinching to healing and allied Defense buffs.
- Gust: Staggering 1Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
- Potion: MP Refresh 2Move Lv. 1 · Energy 7
Two tiles share the flinch-effect name; the table shows one example. Move refresh is probabilistic.
Lucy&SeviperPoison Fang's bad poison and Wrap's trapping interfere with healing.
- Hostile Environment 1Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
- Wrap: Accuracy +5Move Lv. 1 · Energy 3
Status-chance increases support Poison Fang's extra effect. Trapping comes directly from Wrap.
Wallace&MiloticImprove Whirlpool's accuracy when applying trapped status.
- Whirlpool: Accuracy +10Move Lv. 1 · Energy 5
Mirror Coat is not a counter to Bulu's physical attacks.
Blue&PidgeotA candidate for special Flying damage and Air Slash flinching.
- Air Slash: Aggravation 1Move Lv. 2 · Energy 10
Check which form has Air Slash. Weakness changes Flying → Poison → Flying.
Hilbert&OshawottStrengthens Waterfall interference and adds allied Defense support.
- Waterfall: Aggravation 1Move Lv. 3 · Energy 8
- X Speed All: Shielded 1Move Lv. 2 · Energy 3
Interference chance and allied Defense additions use separate tiles.
Sabrina&AlakazamTry reusing Reflect against physical attacks.
- Reflect: MP Refresh 4Move Lv. 1 · Energy 6
Refresh is probabilistic. Damage reduction does not protect against enemy critical hits, so this alone does not guarantee survival.
Volkner&LuxrayElectric Terrain can replace Grassy Terrain.
- Electric Terrain: MP Refresh 2Move Lv. 1 · Energy 7
Refresh is probabilistic. Prepare separate damage support and defenses.
Ramos&WeepinbellImprove Sleep Powder accuracy to stop actions.
- Sleep Powder: Accuracy +10Move Lv. 2 · Energy 5
Accuracy tiles alone do not guarantee hits. Check resistance and enemy effect removal.
Latias: Weaken mitigation through multiple stat drops
Latias's stat-change-based damage reduction is stronger with raised stats and weaker with lowered stats. Prepare Sp. Atk, Defense, Speed and other drops instead of only Attack drops. From the second HP bar, also prepare for evasiveness.Official battle tips
Pairs with means to lower at least two of Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, accuracy and evasiveness. Includes separate moves and random selection, not necessarily dropping multiple stats at once.
Candidates lowering at least two specified stats without relying on random selection:296 sync pairs.View specified-stat candidates →
Ghetsis and Kyurem lower Attack and Sp. Atk with Noble Roar and strengthen the drops with grids. Lillie and Clefairy can add random stat drops to never-miss Disarming Voice.
Ghetsis&KyuremStrengthen Noble Roar's Attack and Sp. Atk drops. Glaciate also lowers Speed.
- Noble Roar: Double DropMove Lv. 3 · Energy 10
This grid supports Noble Roar; Speed drops come from Glaciate.
Iris (Alt.)&HydreigonAdds Speed drops to Breaking Swipe's Attack and Snarl's Sp. Atk drops.
- Dragon Rush: Trip Up 6Move Lv. 3 · Energy 8
Extra Speed drops have a 70% chance. Base moves provide Attack and Sp. Atk drops.
Lillie&ClefairyUse never-miss Disarming Voice for random drops and X Accuracy All for allied accuracy.
- Disarming Voice: Unfortuitous 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 8
One random stat lowered by one rank each time, not seven stats together.
Marnie (Alt.)&GrimmsnarlAdds random stat drops at move level 2. A never-miss buddy move also lowers Defense and Sp. Def.
- Unfortuitous 9Move Lv. 2 · Energy 8
The buddy move activates after the user uses one move. Distinguish random drops from its guaranteed stat drops.
View eight other counter candidates
Bianca&MusharnaAdds random stat drops to attacks.
- Unfortuitous 3Move Lv. 3 · Energy 8
40% chance, one randomly chosen stat. This does not replace a guaranteed debuffer.
Red&VenusaurAdds guaranteed activation of random stat drops to attacks, with a possible healing role too.
- Unfortuitous 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
One randomly chosen stat each time. Requires a successful attack.
Sygna Suit Lysandre (Alt.)&Chi-Yu (Tera Type: Fire)Repeatedly lowers both Attack and Sp. Atk; the buddy move can sharply lower other stats too.
- Overwhelm 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
- Satisfied Snicker 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
The buddy move activates after an ally uses one sync and deactivates after use. Its stat drop chooses one stat randomly.
Koga&CrobatRepeated Sp. Def drops support special damage dealers.
- Venoshock: Mind Games 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 9
Lowers Sp. Def on a successful Venoshock. Combine with other pairs for multiple-stat drops.
Mina&GranbullAll-enemy Attack drops on entry and Charm suppress physical damage.
- Terrify 1Move Lv. 3 · Energy 8
What Great Composition! copies raised stats; it does not remove buffs or apply debuffs.
Lear&Hoopa (Hoopa Confined)Support Snatch's remaining uses for removing raised stats.
- Snatch: MP Refresh 2Move Lv. 2 · Energy 5
Removing buffs differs from lowering stats below zero. Move refresh is probabilistic.
Brycen&CryogonalSupport Haze's remaining uses for removing the opponent's buffs.
- Haze: MP Refresh 2Move Lv. 2 · Energy 7
Removing buffs differs from lowering stats below zero. Move refresh is probabilistic.
Sabrina&AlakazamSupports uses of ally-buff moves including accuracy increases to counter raised evasiveness.
- Sixth Sense!: MP Refresh 3Move Lv. 1 · Energy 7
Read the move's accuracy buff amount and targets. The grid supports remaining uses.
Raikou: Stop power increases from raised Speed
From Raikou's second HP bar, and throughout the side enemies' presence, raised Speed increases move and sync power. Lower Speed while prioritizing side enemies or using area attacks. Critical hits bypass physical/special damage reduction; replace rain with other weather.Official battle tips
Includes Speed drops from grids as well as regular moves and passives, and random drops that can select Speed.
For Raikou, choose effects specifically lowering Speed from158 sync pairsto identify the role more clearly. Activation chance and accuracy prerequisites still apply.View specified-Speed candidates →
Kukui and Lycanroc strengthen Rock Tomb's Speed drops with their grid. Clay and Palpitoad have Mud Shot grid effects and regular Bulldoze for all-enemy Speed drops.
Kukui&Lycanroc (Midday Form)Strengthens repeated single-target Speed drops and all-enemy Speed drops on entry.
- Rock Tomb: Trip Up 9Move Lv. 2 · Energy 3
- Trip Wire 2Move Lv. 2 · Energy 3
Rock Tomb's additional drop requires a hit. Entry-wide drops activate once.
Clay&PalpitoadStrengthen Mud Shot's Speed drop; regular Bulldoze also covers all enemies.
- Mud Shot: Trip Up 9Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
Check Mud Shot accuracy. Bulldoze's base effect works without a grid.
Bertha&HippowdonReplace rain with sand and support allied critical-hit rates.
- Sandstorm: MP Refresh 2Move Lv. 3 · Energy 7
- Team Sharp Entry 1Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
Entry sand cannot cover later rain alone. Use Sandstorm after rain starts. Move refresh is probabilistic.
Sonia&YamperAdds allied critical-hit-rate support to Attack and Defense buffs.
- Ruff Buff!: Critical Squad 1Move Lv. 3 · Energy 10
Critical hits bypass enemy physical/special damage reduction. Assign another pair to replace rain.
View seven other counter candidates
Courtney&CameruptAdds another Speed drop to Bulldoze's all-enemy drop.
- Bulldoze: Trip Up 4Move Lv. 3 · Energy 9
The added effect has a 50% chance. Ground Zone supports damage but does not replace rain.
Sophocles&TogedemaruAdd Speed drops alongside flinching attacks.
- Zing Zap: Trip Up 2Move Lv. 2 · Energy 7
The added effect has a 30% chance. Another level-3 tile, Trip Up 4, is also available.
Ghetsis&KyuremCombines Glaciate's all-enemy Speed drop with Noble Roar's Attack and Sp. Atk drops.
- Noble Roar: Double DropMove Lv. 3 · Energy 10
This grid strengthens Noble Roar; it does not double Glaciate's Speed drop.
Ingo&ExcadrillA candidate for sand, healing and critical-hit support.
- Sandstorm: MP Refresh 2Move Lv. 3 · Energy 7
- Potion: MP Refresh 3Move Lv. 3 · Energy 7
Sandstorm and healing move refresh are both probabilistic.
Acerola&PalossandSupport Sandstorm reapplication and allied critical-hit rates.
- Sandstorm: MP Refresh 3Move Lv. 1 · Energy 7
- Sandstorm: Focus Group 4Move Lv. 2 · Energy 7
Critical-hit-rate increases have a 50% chance here. One use is not treated as reaching maximum crit rate.
Hilbert&OshawottAdds allied critical-hit-rate support to attack support.
- In This Together!: Critical Squad 2Move Lv. 3 · Energy 12
Combine with weather and Speed-drop counters.
Sabrina&AlakazamSupport the role of increasing allies' critical-hit rate with Dire Hit All.
- Dire Hit All: Critical Squad 1Move Lv. 2 · Energy 6
Critical-hit support is separate from Speed drops and replacing rain.
If you can use move level 4,Cynthia & Garchompalso offers Dust Kicker after sync (energy 12) to replace rain. Check sync preparation and timing.

How results are counted
- Counts cover the site's 664 pairs as of October 8, 2026, without type, role or acquisition restrictions.
- Each ID counts once even with multiple forms, tiles or activation methods.
- Includes grid requirements from move level 1 to 5, Superawakening and effects after conditions or form changes.
- Multiple-stat counts use the seven listed stats. Crit-rate drops, type rebuffs and removal of raised stats are separate.
- Specified-stat counts exclude effects that choose the lowered stat randomly. They do not imply a 100% success rate.
- are not checked by counts for simultaneous form/grid use, energy or preparation steps. Check individual details.
Article counts use the stated data date. Linked searches use current site data, so additions or corrections may change counts.
