Pokemon GO: Cacturne raid counters for November 2021
Adam D Anglo
Cacturne is currently a 3-star raid boss in Pokemon GO, and originates from Generation III of Pokemon (Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald). It is a Dark/Grass-type Pokemon that originally evolves from Cacnea.
As a low power 3-star raid boss, Cacturne can be defeated by a large number of trainers if they use appropriate counters. Although that may sound limiting, Cacturne possesses a total of seven elemental weaknesses in Pokemon and Pokemon GO, including one in particular that deals double super effective damage to it.
With that in mind, picking counters against Cacturne is incredibly simple compared to other Pokemon.
