Pokemon GO: Reshiram Weaknesses & Resistances
Rehsiram is a Dual Dragon and Fire Type monster in Pokemon GO, paired with a maximum CP of 4565 and a stat spread of 275 ATK, 211 DEF, and 205 STA. As a result of this Type of combination, Reshiram is resistant to Electric, Bug, Grass, Steel, and Fire Type monsters and moves, so players should avoid using them at all costs.
Instead, Trainers should focus on utilizing Pokemon or powerful moves of the Ground, Rock, or Dragon Types, as these are all Reshiram’s weaknesses. The only important thing to note is when utilizing Dragon Types, they will be super effective against one another, so players should expect Reshiram to hit them just as hard and will need to carefully select a choice who can either out-damage or out-tank the incoming damage of this Raid Boss.
Reshiram receives a power boost when battling under Sunny or Windy Weather conditions, thanks to the Weather Boost mechanic. For this reason, Trainers may wish to avoid Reshiram Raids under such circumstances so as not to put themselves at a disadvantage.
