If you want to learn about all of Zacian's weaknesses and the best Pokémon Counters currently available in Pokémon Go, follow this guide.


One of many Legendary Pokémon that can be encountered and captured in Pokémon Go is Zacian. For a limited time, it will be popping up again in five-star raids - meaning you'll get another opportunity to get your hands on a copy - but before you do, here's a little refresher on what it's weak against, and what the best Pokémon to counter those are.


You have something to think about for your team building to go up against Zacian. Of course, you would want Pokémon with strong attack moves and at least be resistant to some attacks Zacian can use. When the dust settles, the longer the battle was, the higher the possibility of successfully catching a Pokémon. These are all the Zacian weaknesses and the best countermeasures to use against them in Pokémon Go.

Stylishly, Fair-type Pokémon Zacian is back to celebrate the Legendary Heroes event in style. In order to do as much damage to Zacian as possible during a battle, you'll want to use Pokémon that are weak to both Poison and Steel types. During this encounter in Pokémon Go, however, you shouldn't take advantage of Bug, Dark, Dragon, or Fighting-type attacks when fighting Zacian because those would be resisted.


Because they're more resistant, Steel-type Pokémon are going to be the best available to you for this battle. Most Poison-type Pokémon can't withstand their high attack strength, and due to that fact, neither can most of Zacian's moves. Still, you do want to consider which of many possible moves that Zacian could launch against you on this five-star raid. All these various different moves are the many Zacian could use in Pokémon Go.


Close Quarters


A fang of fire-type


Stainless Steel Iron Nose


Claw of Metal (STEEL-TYPE)


Let loose- fey-type


Rapid Assault - Classic


Snarl of Dark-type


Electric-type Wild Charge


The attacks become quite versatile, making Zacian an opponent worth dealing with, because Cloe Combat and Fire Fang deal super effective damage to any Steel-type Pokémon, whereas the only ones that don't seem to be showing an apparent weakness are Poison-types.

Pokémon Go's best counters against Zacian  


Dusk Mane Necrozma, Metagross, and Gengar - these are the names of some of the best Pokémon that you can include in your lineup if you want to defeat the Zacian. 


A whole lot of trainers consider Dusk Mane Necrozma as one of the most formidable Pokémon they could ever add to their lineups. It was released during Pokémon Go Fest 2024 and during those raid events, only a few trainers might have gotten an opportunity to use it. In this case, one of the best attackers for this attack is Dusk Mane Necrozma, which is actually a Steel-type Pokémon with Psychic abilities that can take down Zacian. Of course, the fast Shadow Claw and then charged Psycho Cut and Metal Claw are just perfect moves you can teach it. Another good Psychic and Steel-type Pokémon which I think should be in your team is Metagross.


Metagross is never a wrong choice against Zacian in a five-star raid because he has several Steel-type attacks that you can inflict to dish out quite considerable damage. Pay attention to Metagross' health and try to keep him out of Zacian's Close Combat and Fire Fang attacks. In this Pokémon Go game, the Metagross fits best with the lighting-fast Bullet Punch and two devastating charged abilities in Earthquake and Meteor Mash. Finally, for the final suggestion, I really do think you can have on your team Gengar, the Poison and Ghost-type Pokémon. In this Pokémon Go raid, Gengar will be most useful for an assault rather than any kind of defense.


You should at least have a Gengar, and if you are in luck, the Mega Gengar if possible. Shadow Claw as a fast move and Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb as charged moves is the optimal moveset for Gengar. When facing Zacian, it is highly recommended that you face it with a team of six Pokémon in your company.

You and your team can catch it if you defeat the five-star raid boss, Zacian. We can let you know there is a chance that a Shiny Zacian might pop in within Pokémon Go, but it is highly unlikely.


There you go; now that you have all Zacian's weaknesses and best Pokémon counters within Pokémon Go, hope we've been of great help to you.
