To ensure you can add this Pok\u00e9mon to your collection, it helps to know every Blacephalon weakness and the best Pok\u00e9mon to counter it. Knowing these details can help you prepare your team accordingly, giving you the best chance at victory. But it also helps to bring a few friends with you to take down Blacephalon when challenging one in a five-star raid. These encounters won't be easy, so expect to track down this creature with other Pok\u00e9mon Go players while you can. All Blacephalon weaknesses in Pok\u00e9mon Go Blacephalon is a Fire and Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon. It will be weak against Dark, Ghost, Ground, Rock, and Water-type attacks but resistant against Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, and Steel-type attacks.\u00a0 When preparing for a five-star raid, it helps to know every move Blacephalon can use against you, ensuring your team won't receive a hit from a super-effective attack. These are all the moves Blacephalon knows in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Astonish (Ghost-type) Incinerate (Fire-type) Mystical Fire (Fire-type) Overheat (Fire-type) Shadow Ball (Ghost-type) Since Blacephalon only uses Fire and Ghost-type attacks, it's in your best interest to focus on a team of Dark, Rock, and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon. They should all resist these attacks, making it difficult for Blacephalon to overpower your team. The best Pok\u00e9mon counters to Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go When it comes to creating the optimal team to take down Blacephalon, Kyogre, Tyranitar, and Garchomp are some of the best Pok\u00e9mon you can use against it in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Kyogre is a Legendary Water-type Pok\u00e9mon and easily one of the strongest Water-types you can use in Pok\u00e9mon Go. It has a hefty amount of attack power and a variety of attacks it can use against Blacephalon. If you can, the Primal Kyogre version is the best one to use as it has the best attacks and stats, but not every player may have access to it. The best moveset to give Kyogre for this fight is Waterfall, Origin Pulse, and Surf. Next, you can use Tyranitar, a Dark and Rock-type Pok\u00e9mon. As a Dark and Rock-type Pok\u00e9mon, it should resist every attack Blacephalon uses, making it the perfect choice for this Pok\u00e9mon Go five-star encounter. Using a Mega Tyranitar for this encounter would be a good choice for anyone who can do so. Tyranitar's best moveset against Blacephalon includes Bite, Brutal Swing, and Stone Edge. The last Pok\u00e9mon I highly recommend is Garchomp, the Dragon and Ground-type Pok\u00e9mon. Although it's only resistant to Fire-type moves, it's still an excellent choice to use in this encounter, with a variety of Ground-type attacks it can use to do a large amount of damage to Blacephalon in a short amount of time. The best moveset to teach it is Mud Shot, Earth Power, and Earthquake, but you might do better using a Garchomp with Dragon Tail. Although these three Pok\u00e9mon are some of the best choices to use against Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go, you need a full team of six to take with you. Before heading into this battle, you can use these other choices to complete your roster.

To ensure you can add this Pok\u00e9mon to your collection, it helps to know every Blacephalon weakness and the best Pok\u00e9mon to counter it. Knowing these details can help you prepare your team accordingly, giving you the best chance at victory. But it also helps to bring a few friends with you to take down Blacephalon when challenging one in a five-star raid. These encounters won't be easy, so expect to track down this creature with other Pok\u00e9mon Go players while you can. All Blacephalon weaknesses in Pok\u00e9mon Go Blacephalon is a Fire and Ghost-type Pok\u00e9mon. It will be weak against Dark, Ghost, Ground, Rock, and Water-type attacks but resistant against Bug, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Ice, Normal, Poison, and Steel-type attacks.\u00a0 When preparing for a five-star raid, it helps to know every move Blacephalon can use against you, ensuring your team won't receive a hit from a super-effective attack. These are all the moves Blacephalon knows in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Astonish (Ghost-type) Incinerate (Fire-type) Mystical Fire (Fire-type) Overheat (Fire-type) Shadow Ball (Ghost-type) Since Blacephalon only uses Fire and Ghost-type attacks, it's in your best interest to focus on a team of Dark, Rock, and Water-type Pok\u00e9mon. They should all resist these attacks, making it difficult for Blacephalon to overpower your team. The best Pok\u00e9mon counters to Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go When it comes to creating the optimal team to take down Blacephalon, Kyogre, Tyranitar, and Garchomp are some of the best Pok\u00e9mon you can use against it in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Kyogre is a Legendary Water-type Pok\u00e9mon and easily one of the strongest Water-types you can use in Pok\u00e9mon Go. It has a hefty amount of attack power and a variety of attacks it can use against Blacephalon. If you can, the Primal Kyogre version is the best one to use as it has the best attacks and stats, but not every player may have access to it. The best moveset to give Kyogre for this fight is Waterfall, Origin Pulse, and Surf. Next, you can use Tyranitar, a Dark and Rock-type Pok\u00e9mon. As a Dark and Rock-type Pok\u00e9mon, it should resist every attack Blacephalon uses, making it the perfect choice for this Pok\u00e9mon Go five-star encounter. Using a Mega Tyranitar for this encounter would be a good choice for anyone who can do so. Tyranitar's best moveset against Blacephalon includes Bite, Brutal Swing, and Stone Edge. The last Pok\u00e9mon I highly recommend is Garchomp, the Dragon and Ground-type Pok\u00e9mon. Although it's only resistant to Fire-type moves, it's still an excellent choice to use in this encounter, with a variety of Ground-type attacks it can use to do a large amount of damage to Blacephalon in a short amount of time. The best moveset to teach it is Mud Shot, Earth Power, and Earthquake, but you might do better using a Garchomp with Dragon Tail. Although these three Pok\u00e9mon are some of the best choices to use against Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go, you need a full team of six to take with you. Before heading into this battle, you can use these other choices to complete your roster.
