Grab a powerful Therian Landorus during the Road to Unova event in Pokémon GO.
Landorus, in the Therian Forme is back in Pokémon GO Raids on February 26 as part of the Road to Unova event. This will include a special Raid hour from 6 p.m until 7 p.m.
Landorus has two Formes in Pokémon GO, the Incarnate and Therian. The Therian Forme is much stronger, so this is a great Pokémon to Raid for. Therian Landorus is the best Ground-type Pokémon in the game, excluding Primal/Mega Pokémon and Shadow Pokémon. It is better than Groudon, Garchomp and more.
So, take on as many of these special Raids as you can during the Road to Unova event. We have you covered for everything you need to know when battling Therian Landorus in Pokémon GO.
Best Therian Landorus counters in Pokémon GO:
Therian Landorus has a double weakness to Ice-type attacks, and a standard weakness to Water-type attacks.
Here are the best Therian Landorus counters in Pokémon GO:
 Galarian Darmanitan Ice Fang & Avalanche |  Baxcalibur Ice Fang & Avalanche |  Mewtwo Psycho Cut & Ice Beam |  Primal Kyogre Waterfall & Blizzard |  Mamoswine Powder Snow & Avalanche |  Mega Glalie Frost Breath & Avalanche |  Mega Abomasnow Powder Snow & Weather Ball |  Cetitan Ice Shard & Avalanche |  Mega Gardevoir Magical Leaf & Triple Axel |  Glaceon Frost Breath & Avalanche |  Mega Swampert Water Gun & Hydro Cannon |  Kyurem Dragon Breath & Glaciate |
As expected, there are almost all Ice-type Pokémon on this list of Landorus counters. Two other Pokémon that are good counters are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. As these have not rolled out worldwide, we haven't included them. But, if you did go to either of the in-person events, use those new Pokémon for these Raids.
Galarian Darmanitan evolves from Galarian Darumaka. You can currently hatch that Pokémon from 7 km Eggs, so that is easily avaliable. Glaceon is very common, with Eeevee spawning everywhere. Mamoswine also is very accessible, with Swinub being a common spawn worldwide. You could use a Glacial Lure Module to evolve Eevee to Glaceon and encourage some Swinub spawns - if your team needs reinforcements.
