Pokémon GO: Special raid hour today with cobalium, terracion and viridium – best counterattacks

Today, November 29, 2021, Pokémon GO will have a final special raid hour with cobalium, terracion and viridium to conclude the Hoopa event. We at MeinMMO show you the best counterattacks to defeat them quickly.

What kind of raid hour is that? Anyone who regularly plays Pokémon GO knows that there is a special raid event every Wednesday where you can compete against legendary raid bosses in almost all arenas. Due to the Hoopa event, raid hours have also taken place in the past few days.

And today, on November 29, 2021, there will be another special raid hour before the Hoopa event finally ends. During this time you will meet in the level 5 raids on Kobalium, Terrakium and Viridium.

Start of the raid hour: Like every raid hour, this one starts again punctually at 6:00 p.m. It lasts a full hour and ends at 7:00 p.m. local time. Even before the start, the dark eggs over the arenas indicate the upcoming raids.

Best counterattack against Viridium

Viridium is a legendary plant and battle Pokémon. With this you should mainly rely on counterattacks of the flight type. But fire, poison, psycho, ice and fairy attacks also bother him (via pokebattler.com):

Pokémon	Moveset

Is the raid lesson worth it today?

How many WP do Cobalium, Terracium and Viridium have when caught? After the raid you can meet the three legendary Pokémon in the catch mask with the following WP:

• Cobalium: 1,649 WP – 1,727 WP or in cloudy or snowy conditions 2,061 WP – 2,159 WP
• Terracium: 2.026 WP – 2.113 WP or with (partial) cloudiness 2.533 WP – 2.641 WP
• Viridium: 1,649 WP – 1,727 WP or, in sunny, clear or cloudy weather, 2,061 WP – 2,159 WP

If your monster has the highest possible WP value, this corresponds to an IV of 100%.

Are there Shiny Cobalium, Terracium and Viridium? Yes, with a bit of luck you can encounter all three specimens in their dazzling form.

How strong are you? Of the three legendary monsters, terracium is particularly brilliant. It has a strong attack and good stamina, which is why it is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. But it can also convince in the champions league.

Cobalium, on the other hand, can score more with its defense values. It is not really suitable for raids due to its weaker attack. But it is a solid candidate for the champions league (pvpoke.com).

Viridium also benefits from a strong defense, but is slightly weaker than Cobalium. Because of this, it is the worst of all three legendary monsters. For use in raids and the PvP league, you should rather use other copies.

Is the raid lesson worth it? If you are looking for a strong attacker, you should definitely use this raid hour. Orientate yourself mainly to terracium. But even shiny hunters get their money’s worth today.

It is not yet known when these three monsters will come back into the raids. After today’s raid hour, you will meet Cresselia in the level 5 raids until December 1st, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
