Okay, so, I’ve been getting into these Pokemon Go raids lately, and let me tell you, the Zekrom one? It’s a doozy. I wanted to share my whole experience because it took me a few tries to really get the hang of it.
First off, I jumped into a few raids without really knowing what I was doing. Big mistake. Zekrom is this big dragon/electric type, and I was just throwing whatever Pokemon I had at it. I failed a bunch of times. And my normal Poke Balls? Forget about it, those things are useless against Zekrom.

So, I did a little digging. Turns out, this guy is weak to a few types: ground, ice, fairy, and other dragon types. I started building a team around these. I leveled up my Groudon because, you know, ground type, makes sense. I also powered up a Mamoswine I had for the ice attacks.
- Gathered my strongest ground-type Pokemon.
- Leveled them up as much as I could.
- Joined a few raids with this new strategy.
The first couple of raids with my new team, I started to see a difference. We were actually doing some damage! But catching Zekrom? Still super tough. It’s not just about beating it in the raid; you gotta have a strategy for catching it too.
I remember this one raid, it was down to the wire, and we finally beat Zekrom. I was so pumped! Then came the catching part. I used up all my special balls, and it kept breaking free. I was down to my last few regular Poke Balls, sweating bullets, and boom! I caught it. It was such a rush!
After a few more raids and a lot of trial and error, I finally got a Shiny Zekrom. It took a bunch of tries, but man, it was worth it. I learned that it’s all about having the right Pokemon and being prepared.
My main takeaways?
- You gotta use the right types against Zekrom.
- Leveling up your Pokemon makes a huge difference.
- Catching it is a whole other battle, so stock up on good Poke Balls.
- Persisted, even when it got frustrating.
So yeah, that’s my Zekrom raid saga. It was tough, but I figured it out eventually. If you’re trying to catch one, just keep at it, and don’t give up!
