The series of special Mischief Unbound Raid Hours ran from November 26 - November 29 and offers players some additional activities to go along with the Special Research taking place. Each event provides one hour (6pm-7pm local time) to battle one or more returning Legendary bosses in Pokemon GO 5-star Battle Raids. Tonight’s series of bosses features another trio - Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion.

Like with the offerings over the weekend, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion all have shiny potential, which makes this another exciting event for both collectors and players who are just looking to increase their meta-relevant collections…
Best Cobalion Raid Counters
Cobalion is a Gen 5 Steel- and Fighting-Type Legendary. That means that Pokemon GO players are going to want to bust out their strongest Fire-, Fighting-, and Ground-types for these Raids.

Best Virizion Raid Counters
Trainers should keep in mind that Virizion is a Grass/Fighting-type. That pairings means that it is going to be extra weak to Flying-type counters. That is what players will really want to focus on while constructing a counter roster before heading into these battles…

Best Terrakion Raid Counters
Terrakion is a powerful Rock/Fighting-type, which means that players should focus on exploiting its weaknesses to Steel, Psychic, Fighting, Water, Fairy, Grass, and Ground-types.
Mewtwo - Confusion Psystrike Blastoise (Mega) - Water Gun/Hydro Cannon Venusaur (Mega) - Vine Whip/Frenzy Plant Metagross - Zen Headbutt/Meteor Mash Landorus (Therian) - Mud Shot/Earth Power Latios - Zen Headbutt/Psychic Conkeldurr - Counter/Dynamic Punch Kyogre - Waterfall/Surf Jirachi - Confusion/Doom Desire Groudon - Mud Shot/Earthquake Swampert - Mud Shot/Hydro Cannon
That should be everything that trainers need to know to prepare for tonight’s big Battle Raids. Be sure to prepare a strong roster of counters and find a few friends to enter each fight with! More details about upcoming events should arrive throughout the final days of the Season of Mischief. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
