Entei Raid Duo Guide

Primal Kyogre doesn't worry about literally anything that Entei can throw at it, and drops absolutely devastating damage in response. This monster is the king of DPS and TDO alike in this raid, and is definitely a major priority.

Primal Groudon easily rivals Primal Kyogre, upheaving the land with its sheer power and sporting similar resistances thanks to its Fire sub-typing. The reason that its average performance tends to fall below Primal Kyogre is the fact that it is weak to Scorching Sands, meaning there's a chance that it will fall faster than average.

Mega Diancie is arguably the best option if you know that your raid group is running a lot of Rock Types, as it will provide boosts and deal great damage in these cases. However, it falls behind the Primals substantially, while also fearing Scorching Sands and especially Iron Head.

While not as strong as Primal Groudon, Mega Swampert is still very much capable of performing for this raid. It's a power-house Water Type that is a great backup option if Primal Kyogre isn't available.

Not quite as good as Mega Swampert, but still good.

While it lacks Mega Diancie's raw DPS, Mega Tyranitar sports substantially higher TDO and a lack of a relevant double-weakness for this raid that keeps it competitive.

While it doesn't deal Super Effective damage, Mega Rayquaza's sheer power allows it to show up as a worthwhile non-type-boosting Mega.

The biggest boon of Mega Aerodactyl is the fact that it's one of the only counters that actually resists Scorching Sands. It falls a bit short of the above, but it does have its utility.

Basically a worse Mega Swampert, Mega Gyarados has high bulk to stay in the game. But it is the weakest of the "good" Water Type Mega Evolutions, to be sure.

Despite not sporting the typical Water or Rock typing, Shadow Garchomp's Dragon typing gives it a resistance to Entei's Fire Type movesets, which makes it an outstanding counter when combined with its huge damage output. All of these factors come together to make Shadow Garchomp arguably the overall strongest non-Mega counter to Entei.

Arguably the strongest non-Mega Water Type attacker for this raid, Shadow Swampers sports very high damage but is a bit on the frail side. Regardless, it's an outstanding partner to Primal Kyogre that can quickly strip Entei of its HP with ease.

While its average DPS is below Shadow Swampert, Kyogre's higher TDO largely keeps it competitive for this raid.

Unfortunately, Groudon is definitely a downgrade when compared to Shadow Garchomp, but it's still got solid power that makes it a great option for tearing down Entei.

A strong option thanks to the Shadow boost, Shadow Tyranitar is definitely one of the strongest Rock Type attackers in the game. It has to beware of both Iron Head and Scorching Sands, but it still puts in great work.

While no longer quite as comparatively powerful as it once was, Rampardos is still a glass-cannon with very high DPS despite lacking a Shadow boost. It works extremely well against Fire Type movesets, but must beware of Iron Head and Scorching Sands.

Shadow Mamoswine has amazing DPS that puts it in the highest echelon of attackers for this raid, but its weakness to Entei's Fire Type movesets and Iron Head make it very frail. This alone makes it less viable than the Supreme counters, but it's still a great option if you just want sheer Damage output and don't mind dodging.

While not quite up to par with Shadow Swampert, Shadow Feraligatr is still an outstanding Water Type starter that can put in work as a vanilla Water Type.

Shadow Golurk doesn't have any particular matchups that it does or doesn't want, but it's still a good option for pretty much any moveset.

The current king of the Water Type starters, Greninja actually has the sheer power to be at least somewhat competitive with the Shadow starters.

Excadrill fears everything that Entei can throw at it save Iron Head, so it's a risky pick for this raid.

While a bit low on the power-scale, Shadow Gyarados has the advantage of resisting everything that Entei can possibly throw at it, including a double-resistance to Scorching Sands.

Rhyperior is a tank of a Pokemon that excels when Entei is packing a Fire Type Charged Move, but it doesn't do as well against Iron Head and Scorching Sands.

If it deals at least neutral damage with Psystrike, you can bet that Shadow Mewtwo will show up somewhere on our guides!
