UB-02 Beauty Pheromosa Raids
#0795 Type: Bug/Fighting
One of the Ultra Beasts. It refuses to touch anything, perhaps because it senses some uncleanness in this world.
What's good folks! Hope you all had a great start to the new year. Pokemon Go is kicking the new year off with one of my personal favorite group of powerful Pokemon, the Ultra Beasts. Unfortunately, this time they aren't being released shiny. As such, I personally don't recommend raiding them if you aren't trying to spend a lot of money. But if you really want the candy and have the money then by all means. I'll be going over the best counters including the best legendaries, shadows, and non legendary non shadows for newer players.
The Ultra Beasts are extradimensional Pokemon that come from Ultra Space through Ultra Wormholes. Their powers are somewhat comparible to legendary Pokemon. First appearances are made in the Sun and Moon games.

*For extra candy and rare candy farm, you're best Megas to use are those that share the same typing as Pheromosa, Bug and Fighting. Includes Mega Beedrill, Mega Blaziken, Mega Lopunny. One caviat is that they aren't gonna give you the best bang for your buck in terms of damage output. I would recommend Mega Blaziken in this instance because at least you are dealing super effective Fire damage.
Top 10 Raid Counters Overall
Not much has changed from the Buzzwole counters. Everything is pretty much in the same place.
***While counters vary depending on the Raid boss' moveset, this a general list of some of the best attackers based on Equivalent Rating. I'll highlight some other Pokemon that don't have as high ER but are just as good in terms of type effectiveness.
***ER may also change depending on your Pokemon's levels and the moveset of the Raid boss. This list isn't going to apply for all specific situations. It's a guide for how in general these counters do compared to others and which ones you might want to consider investing into for your team
