Pokemon GO Kleavor raid guide: Best counters, shiny odds, 100% CP, and more

A Pokemon GO Kleavor raid guide will help players access the Hisuian evolution of Scyther. Since the critter is only available through raids in the mobile game, players who missed catching it at that time now have another opportunity to do so.

The Axe Pokemon is coming back to the game as a three-star raid boss and will be available from July 8, 2025, 10 am local time to July 13, 2025, 8 pm local time.

Being an attack-weighted creature in Pokemon GO, Kleavor's moves are going to hurt. However, given its frail defenses, the right counters will help you defeat it with relative ease.

This guide will highlight Kleavor's weaknesses and suggest the best counters to help you take it down, whether you have maxed out Legendaries or not.
