Pokemon GO Eelektrik raid guide: Weaknesses and best counters

A Pokemon GO Eelektrik raid will help players defeat this Pocket Monster as it returns as a raid boss to Niantic's mobile game. The Electric-type is the first evolution of Tynamo and was introduced during the Charge Up event of March 2021. It has hitherto only been seen in 3-star raids, but it will appear in 4-star raids for the first—and potentially only—time on Tynamo Community Day.

As per tradition, 4-star Pokemon GO Eelektrik raids will be available for players to challenge from 5 - 10 pm local time on July 21, 2024, as part of Tynamo Community Day.

This Pokemon GO Eelektrik raid guide covers everything you need to know about taking down the creature in 4-star raids.

How many people are needed to best Pokemon GO Eelektrik raids?

As long as you go into the battle with a level 40+ powerful Ground-type raid counter or one of the staple generalists that deal neutral damage to Eelektrik, it is possible to solo defeat Eelektrik in Pokemon GO raids.

That said, given its 9,000-point health bar, it might be a bit of an uphill battle that you might need to dodge some charged attacks for. Attempt these raids with at least one more person and you are guaranteed to come out on top.
