3-star raids

As of April 2025, the most reliable way to get a Combat Breed Paldean Tauros in the mobile game is via 3-star raids in the Iberian Peninsula. The pure Fighting-type critter will appear in these battles in Gyms around you between 10 am local time on Thursday, April 3, 2025, and will be active until 8 pm local time on Monday, April 7, 2025.

To make things easier, check out our Pokemon GO Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed) raid guide.

Paldean Tauros' Combat Breed is weak to Flying-, Psychic-, and Fairy-type STAB damage. The challenge can be overcome solo or as a group of up to 20 players. Both in-person and remote participation is allowed. This makes it accessible to trainers not living in the Iberian Peninsula as well.

After winning the raids, you can catch Paldean Tauros at the following CP ranges, depending on the weather:

• No weather boost: 1,546 - 1,621 CP at level 20 (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs)
• Weather boosted (Cloudy): 1,932 - 2,026 CP at level 25 (10/10/10 - 15/15/15 IVs)

Trade

If you don't live in the Iberian Peninsula or are unable to catch a Combat Breed Paldean Tauros directly, you can get it from an in-game friend via trade. As long as you have the regular version registered on your Pokedex, it won't count as a Special Trade.
