Raid guide for Pokemon GO: Countering Alakazam
When going up against any Psychic-type Pokemon, it always helps to know what types they are weak against. Dark-, Bug- and Ghost-type Pokemon are the player's best friends in this battle. Pokemon such as Gengar and Darkrai can be very helpful due to their type advantage.
In terms of defense, Dark types as well as other Psychic types are great to bring along for the battle. Musharna can be a very valuable Pokemon for this fight due to its bulkiness and availability, as its pre-evolution, Munna, has a boosted spawn rate for the duration of the second part of the Ultra Unlock event. Fighting-type Pokemon should stay far away from this fight. On top of taking super effective damage from Psychic-type attacks, they also deal less damage to Psychic-type Pokemon.
Strong raid battles such as these are always better to do with friends. Remote raid passes are a great tool for getting everyone together without having to leave the house. Pokemon GO groups for numerous areas all over are on Facebook. If you can find one for your area, it can prove to be a valuable resource for players looking to challenge raid bosses. There is always strength in numbers.
