Okay, let’s talk about this Zekrom raid I did in Pokemon GO. I started playing this game a while ago, and let me tell you, catching these legendary guys is no walk in the park. So, Zekrom was in the 5-Star Raids from January 10th to January 18th, 2023. I marked my calendar because I did not want to miss this.
First thing I did was check out what this beast is weak against. Turns out, being a Dragon and Electric type, Zekrom is vulnerable to Dragon, Fairy, and Ice. So, I gathered my best Pokemon with those types of attacks. I remember I had a pretty strong Dragonite and a Gardevoir, so they were definitely in.

Now, I’ve tried catching legendaries before, and it’s a pain. I knew regular Poke Balls wouldn’t cut it. Usually, I’d save my Master Ball for something super rare like Kyurem, but I was tempted to use it here. Then I remembered about berries. I stocked up on Razz Berries and Golden Razz Berries to make Zekrom easier to catch. And just in case my throws were off, I grabbed some Nanab Berries to calm him down.
- Gathering the Team: I teamed up with four other trainers. From what I read, five trainers are more than enough to take down Zekrom. It’s always more fun with a group, plus it’s way easier.
- The Battle: We jumped into the raid, and man, Zekrom’s CP was at 53394. That’s pretty high! We started the battle, and everyone was throwing their best moves. My Dragonite and Gardevoir were doing some good damage.
- Using the Berries: I started with a Razz Berry to increase my chances. Zekrom was moving all over the place, so I switched to a Nanab Berry. That helped me land a few good throws. When I felt I had a good chance, I switched to the Golden Razz Berry.
After a tough battle, we finally defeated Zekrom. Then came the moment of truth – catching it. I used the Golden Razz Berries and tried to time my throws perfectly. I missed a few, but eventually, I caught it! It was such a relief. I remember I had to use around 10 balls. Some of the other players caught him with only 3 balls! I guess I wasn’t as lucky.
My Key Takeaways
- Preparation is Key: Knowing Zekrom’s weaknesses and having the right Pokemon was crucial.
- Berries are Lifesavers: Seriously, those Razz and Nanab Berries made a huge difference.
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Raiding with other trainers is not just more effective, it’s also way more fun.
So yeah, that’s my Zekrom raid story. It was a blast, and I’m already looking forward to the next big raid. If you’re trying to catch Zekrom or any other legendary Pokemon, just remember these tips. Good luck, and happy raiding!
