Ultra Beasts collectors can add Blacephalon to their teams as it will finally debut in Pokemon Go during Ultra Space Wonders. Here are the best counters to target Blacephalon’s weaknesses during the encounter.
Blacephalon weaknesses in Pokemon Go
As a dual Fire/Ghost-type Pokemon, Blacephalon isweak to Ground, Rock, Ghost, Water, and Dark-type moves, so you must build your team with those types in mind.
However, its particular type combination gives Blacephalon plenty of resistances you need to look out for. The Ultra Beast is resistant to Poison, Steel, Fire, Grass, Ice, Fairy, Normal, Fighting, and Bug-type attacks, so avoid using those at all costs, as they won’t do much damage.
Here are some of the best counters you can use during the battle:
The list includes Megas, Legendaries, Shadow, and more common Pokemon, so there should be something for trainers of all levels.
However, even though the creatures listed are very effective against Blacephalon, they still need to be leveled up and know the proper moves if you want to win the battle.
As an Ultra Beast, the only way to catch Blacephalon in Pokemon Go isby defeating it in a 5-Star Raid battle.
No, Shiny Blacephalon is not currently available in Pokemon Go, so Shiny hunters will have to wait for another event to unlock this variation.
Blacephalon is one of the weirdest-looking creatures in the franchise, and players will be able to spot its Shiny version easily as its white body goes electric blue.
