"Countering Giratina-O and its use in the Raid and PvP meta! [GamePress]"

#PokemonGO: Link to ArticleStarting April 2nd Giratina’s Origin Forme will be replacing the Altered Forme in raids. As many of you already know this new Forme has a higher attack, lower defense, and different movepool than the Altered Forme. Most importantly, Giratina-O has Shadow Ball access. With Shadow Ball, Giratina-O is now arguably the greatest Ghost/Dark-type attacker in Pokemon GO. Given that the majority of our raid bosses are Psychic-type, this is a raid boss you might want to not miss out on!The article on GamePress details the best counters to this raid, their relevant breakpoints and bulkpoints, and Giratina-O’s potential in the raid scene and trainer battle metas.TL;DRSpooky Thicc Boi is now Spooky Löng BoiEasier to beat than Tina-A because of lower defense and Ghost-type focusDragon-types make the wins easySalamence may be as good as Ray if Outrage happens on April 13thTina-O has more DPS than Mewtwo but less DPS than GengarTina-O has twice the TDO of Gengar tho (Löng Boi still Thicc)If Tina-O’s raid graph is any indicator, being Glassy can easily set you back in DPSNo real competition until Yvetal (or Megas, or big mechanic changes)In Master League Tina-O is arguably better than Tina-ABasically Shadow Ball gives it more KOing powerIn Ultra League Tina-A is still kingBig Attack = Over-inflated CP = Being way weaker here than in the Master League via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2TKJFPL
