Togekiss is a Tier-3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO featured as a part of the ongoing Air Adventures Event, which ends on May 8, 2022, at 8 p.m. As a Fairy and Flying-type Pokémon, Togekiss is vulnerable to Poison-, Rock-, Steel-, Electric-, and Ice-type Moves. On the other hand, this powerful Fairy Pokémon is resistant to Grass and Dark-type attacks. Furthermore, Togekiss is highly immune in Pokémon GO to Fighting-, Bug-, Ground-, and Dragon-type abilities.
Togekiss's Dragon resistance, in particular, makes this Fairy Pokémon highly sought after by Trainers aiming to capture and tame the fiercest Dragon-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. However, before players attempt to battle with Togekiss in a Raid, there are several things they should bear in mind, such as Weather Boosts or optimal Counters. Starting with Weather Boosts, Togekiss receives a substantial boost in CP when the weather is Cloudy or Windy. Therefore, those who catch Togekiss during these environmental conditions can expect the Pokémon to be stronger than usual, yet remember that the Raid Battle will also reflect its increase in power in Pokémon GO.
For the best combative results, Pokémon GO Trainers are advised to have one or two teammates join them in the Togekiss Raid Battle unless they possess a party of high-level Counters. Keep in mind that although the top Counters will undoubtedly be the best candidates to take into the Raid, weaker Pokémon with optimal Movesets and countering elemental abilities are also excellent choices to take down Togekiss.
