Gigantamax Rillaboom is making its highly anticipated Gigantamax debut in Pokémon Go, and, true to form, it will prove to be quite a challenge to defeat.
Rillaboom will specifically appear during the weekend segment of the “Serene Retreat” event, from May 31 at 6 a.m. through June 1 at 9 p.m. local time.
Below, we provide the top counters and weaknesses for Gigantamax Rillaboom in Pokémon Go, along with handy battle strategies.
Weaknesses of Gigantamax Rillaboom
Being a pure grass-type, Rillaboom has several key weaknesses to consider: it is vulnerable to flying-, poison-, bug-, fire-, and ice-type moves.
On the upside, Rillaboom also has resistance to ground-, water-, grass-, and electric-type moves, so it’s better to reserve those types for only generating energy.
