Do you want to know the best counters for the Hoopa Unbound Elite Raid in Pokemon Go? Pokemon Go is a location-based game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. Unbound Elite Raids are the newest and one of the most challenging content addition in Pokémon Go. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about how to beat Hoopa during its Elite Raid in Pokemon Go.

What is  Hoopa Unbound Elite Raid in Pokemon Go?

Hoopa Unbound is a new Elite Raid Boss that can be found during its exclusive Elite Raid. This event will take place every weekend within 24 hours period. Elite bosses appear in special Raid Eggs within this period, and you must battle and defeat the Elite raid boss within 30 minutes once the egg is hatched. If you defeat the Raid Boss, you have the opportunity to catch it.

But remember, you have to meet Elite Raid Bosses In-Person, and you will not be able to participate in this Raid using Remote Raid Passes. The first Elite Boss will be Hoopa and Raid begins at 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., or 5:00 p.m. local time on October 16th, 2022.

At level 60, Hoopa is a powerful force to be reckoned with. Its Psychic and Dark-type attacks are devastating, and its massive HP makes it hard to take down. But what sets Hoopa apart is its immense CP potential. With a max CP of 66,170, Hoopa is one of the strongest Pokémon in the game. But catching a Hoopa is no easy feat. They’re rare Pokémon, and their high CP makes them challenging to catch. But if you’re lucky enough to catch one, you’ll have a powerful ally in your battles.
