Latias and Latios are now going to be available in Raids. You can join raids in or to try your luck and catch Latias and Latios which are legendary Pokemon. In this Pokemon GO guide, we are going to go over some of the best counters that you can use in Latias and Latios raid battles.
If you have the best counter Pokemon and the highest possible CP for each then you can complete the raid with 3 trainers. But if that is not the case then we recommend having at least 5 trainers in the raid. The more the better.
