One of the ultra beasts in the series, it comes with its strengths and weaknesses and has started appearing in 5-star raids. With the monster appearing in the raids from May 23 to June 1, you must be itching to fight it. Step back for a minute and keep reading our Pokemon GO Stakataka raid guide to know the monster’s weaknesses and counters!

Stakataka Weaknesses and Strengths in Pokemon GO

Let’s begin by talking about Stakataka’s weaknesses in Pokemon GO. The Pokemon is specifically weak againstFighting, Water,andGroundPokemon. Hence, if you can bring a Pokemon with a mix of any of the three mentioned elements, they’ll be much more effective fighting Stakataka in the raid.

While we, of course, want to know about what Stakataka is weak to, you should also know its strengths. Stakataka is aRock/Steel-type Ultra Beastfirst introduced in Pokemon Ultra Sun & Moon.

As such, Stakataka’s strengths include being strong againstFlying, Bug, Fire, Ice, Fairy, Normal, Dragon, Psychic, orRock-typePokemon. While I know that’s a lot of types, I suggest steering clear of these.

Now that we know Stakataka’s weaknesses let’s look at its best counters. To save you time, they are:

While any Pokemon belonging to the fighting, rock, and water types will do, I suggest bringingLucario, Garchomp, or Blazikento the fight. If you have their Mega variant, that’s even better.

It is now time to act upon the Stakataka raid guide. Before you begin, do note that Stakataka, as a raid boss,will only appear in the Eastern Hemisphere. The western hemisphere will get Blacephalon. If you’re the latter, stay tuned for our raid guide on the same!

Remember, you require a Raid Pass to join the fight. Since this is a 5-star raid begin by preparing aparty of two or more people. Once everyone joins, initiate the battle with the best Stakataka Counters we mentioned above. Successfully defeating Stakataka will give you the Pokemon as a reward.

Unfortunately, The shiny Stakataka will not be available in the Pokemon GO. We must wait till another event to add it.

Unfortunately no. There is no official way to capture the Pokemon if you don’t stay in the Eastern Hemisphere.

No. Stakataka is an ultimate beast and doesn’t have any evolved form.
