Cresselia is a powerful Pokémon with the psychic type in Pokémon GO. It has an CP of 3230, though it’s best moveset for this game are Confusion and Future Sight (8-9 DPS). Cresslia does well against Bug-, Dark-, or Ghost -type attacks but will take more damage from Normal types like Water etc., due to their resistances towards Fighting STAB Moves . The Windy weather makes things easier as your opponent doesn’t have much chance at landing anything on you since they’re too busy trying not throw up all over themselves!”

Cresselia may not be a powerful attacker, but she’s got plenty of defenses. Her max CP is 2777 with an ATK rating at 152 and DEF 263 STAB 240 , which makes her perfect for defense as well!

The only problem? She doesn’t evolve from any other Pokémon–so until Generation 4 comes out you’ll need to capture this rare beastie through Tier 5 Raids or Trading Cards if your significant other has herself some trading skills (or luck).

Cresselia Raid Counters

Cresselia, a Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss in Pokemon GO (33794 Combat Power) can be counters by strong Ghost and Dark-type users like Mega Beedril or Mewtwo. It is also weak against Bug moves but Earning one as your Best Foe will require you team up with someone who has either of these types on their side for maximum efficiency! Don’t forget about best friends too– this way there’s less chance that they’ll get away if things go south during battle because every friend counts when it comes down to beating those tricky bosses like Cresslia.

There are plenty of great, accessible options for raiding Cresselia. Your trusty Shadow Ball Mewtwo is one way to go! Absol will get the job done with Dark type moves and Houndoom can handle those Ghost types easily as well in Pinsir or Scizor who work perfectly fine Bug Pokémon too if you have them on hand. Make sure that any other Psychic Pokémon goes up against something not strong against its attacking style but weak instead–that’s all I’ve got though; maybe try Lucario?
