How to get Gigantamax Pomdrapi and Dratatin

But first, if you want to beat them, you have to meet them. Here's how to get Gigantamax Pomdrapi and Dratatin in your Pokemon Sword and Shield raids. Or really, how to increase the chances of getting them, because there is no guaranteed method yet. In your own game, you may only encounter one, depending on which version you have. Pomdrapi will appear in raid dens for those with Pokemon Sword and Dratatin will appear in Shield. Visit all of your raid lairs whenever they have a light shining to see if either one spawns. Otherwise, you will need to complete each available raid in order to refresh them and possibly generate one.



Of course, your own raids aren't the only option. You can also team up with other friends and random players. Make sure you know the trick to refreshing tampons and keeping an eye out, then sign up ASAP. Once there, you'll want to read the next section to find out about the best counters to choose from.

How to beat Pomdrapi and Dratatin

Fortunately, while their appearance and other stats may change, Pomdrapi and Dratatin are the same type. Double type to be precise. Grass and Dragon have a few key weaknesses to use against them, but one in particular is the key to dealing the most damage within a few turns. While flying, poison, bug, dragon, and fairy all do double damage. Ice is the real key to victory. Due to the double strike, Ice does 4x damage against Pomdrapi and Dratatin. However, you have to be careful that your choice cannot be countered as well.


Mammochon for example is a great ice attacker, but his ground typing makes him weak to incoming attacks. For this reason, try to find your strongest Ice only attacker and use it if you want to take it out quickly. Otherwise, there are some solid save options with the other types to choose from, such as Hydra Trioxide, Togekiss, Muplodocus, Tranchodon, and Leviator. And Ethernatos is still a good choice thanks to his Dynamax Cannon attack. If you don't have a choice of solid ice, choose one of them.



And this is how to beat Gigantamax Pomdrapi and Dratatin in Pokemon Sword and Shield.
