Herdier is a normal, three-star raid boss that gets a boost by moderately cloudy weather. Strong Fighting-types, including Lucario, Machamp, and Conkeldurr, are your best counters. Herdiers’ perfect CP from the raid includes:
• 904 CP for a regular encounter (Level 20)
• 1130 for a weather-boosted encounter (Level 25 in Partly Cloudy weather)
Anyone who has a good team of Fighting-type Pokemon can conveniently solve Herdier as it is just a three-star raid boss. Groups of 2-5 are suggested for those who are lower-level trainers and have fewer ideal counters.
We develop the Herdier counters from simulations run on the Go Hub Simulator. The results vary as per different movesets and contain some unreleased Pokémon. Many of Herdier’s best counters are sufficiently accessible!
