The Pokemon GO Road to Kalos event brings the legendary Moone Pokemon, Lunala, to five-star raids from February 21 to March 4, 2026. This is the best time for trainers to catch enough Lunala to make the Dawn Wings Necrozma fusion. The giant bat is a must-have for any strong Ghost-type team. Use these raids to farm the 1,000 Lunar Fusion Energy and Candy.

Pokemon GO Lunala is a Psychic and Ghost type, which gives it a massive double weakness to both Dark and Ghost-type moves. This vulnerability allows teams to deal 256% damage, which is the best way to win quickly. To get the strongest catch, try raiding during Foggy or Windy weather. A perfect 100% IV Lunala at Level 20 has 2310 CP, if the weather is boosted (Level 25), the perfect CP reaches 2887 CP.

Pokemon GO: Lunala Weaknesses & Best Counter Types

Lunala takes huge damage from dark and ghost moves, but is very strong against Fighting, Normal, and Poison-type attacks. Using the wrong types in a Pokemon GO raid is a mistake that wastes your time and your raid passes.

Using the wrong Pokemon is like trying to cut grass with a pair of craft scissors; it just takes way too long. Trainers can win faster by ignoring these weak types and using only Dark and Ghost-type Pokemon.

Pokmon GO: Best Lunala Raid Counters & Strategy

The best Lunala counters in Pokemon GO take advantage of its double weakness and take less damage from its attacks. Dark-type Pokemon are the best choice because they take less damage from Lunala’s Psychic and Ghost-type moves.

Ghost-type counters are second priorities; they inflict more damage but also faint faster with the extra damage from Lunala’s own Ghost-type moves. These are some of the best Lunala counters in Pokemon GO:

• Mega Tyranitar: Bite and Brutal Swing
• Shadow Tyranitar: Bite and Brutal Swing
• Mega Gengar: Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
• Dawn Wings Necrozma: Shadow Claw and Moongeist Baeam
• Shadow Hydreigon: Bite and Brutal Swing
• Darkrai: Snarl & Shadow Ball
• Mega Absol: Snarl and Brutal Swing
• Mega Houndoom: Snarl and Foul Play
• Shadow Weavile: Snarl and Brutal Swing
• Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw & Shadow Force

Pokmon GO: Can You Solo Raid Lunala? (Catching Tips)

A single player can beat Lunala in Pokemon GO by using a team of Level 50 Shadow Pokemon in Foggy weather. This is a rare chance to win a five-star raid alone, but you must dodge big moves like Shadow Ball. For most people, two players with strong teams can win the fight with plenty of time left, as long as they use the right counters.

How to Fix the Lunala Catch Glitch: The AR Reset Trick

Catching Lunala is hard because it likes to fly to the top of the screen. If the Pokemon stays too high for you to hit, turn your AR Mode on and then off. This moves Lunala back to the center of your screen so you can throw the Poke Balls more easily. This trick acts like a reset button for your aim, helping you catch the boss in Pokemon GO.

Pokemon GO Lunala: 100% IV CP Chart

To know if you’ve found a Pokemon GO Hundo Lunala during the catch screen, look for these specific Combat Power (CP) numbers. Anything below these values is not a perfect 15/15/15.

Pokmon GO: Necrozma Fusion and Long-Term Value

By fusing a Lunala with a Necrozma, you get Dawn Wings Necrozma. This form is currently the strongest Ghost-type in the game. Smart players use this event to get as much Lunala Candy and XL Candy as they can to power up their fused Pokemon. Every raid win in Pokemon GO is a step toward getting the most powerful ghost warrior for your team.
