Cloyster is a Water- and Ice-type Bivalve Pokémon that Trainers might encounter as a 3-Star Raid Boss in December 2022 of Pokémon GO. As one might expect of a shell-armored pocket monster, Cloyster has notably high Defense with Attack as its secondary stat. This Raid Boss’s 19,853 CP means it is soloable for high-level Trainers with potent counters, but medium and lower-level players will likely require two or more groups to take down this opponent. To counter Cloyster in a Pokémon GO Raid, Trainers must assemble a team of pocket monsters with Movesets consisting of one of the elements to which this Bivalve Pokémon is weak.
Best Counters for Cloyster in a Pokémon GO Raid
Pokémon with Fighting-, Rock-, Grass-, and Electric-type Movesets should be the go-to selection when facing Cloyster in a Pokémon GO Raid. Choice combatants would include the Fighting- and Steel-type Lucario, the Rock-type Rampardos, and the Electric-type Electivire. Of course, Trainers do not need all three of these top counters to succeed, but having them on one’s team would be advantageous.
