How to Beat Anorith
Anorith is a 5 raid boss in Pokemon GO with Rock/Bug typing. The best counter is Primal Kyogre (Mega) with Waterfall and Origin Pulse, dealing 65.576 DPS.
Anorith can be defeated by a minimum of 2 trainers using optimal counters at level 40+. We recommend 4+ trainers for a comfortable win, especially if your team isn't fully powered up.
Type strategy: Anorith is weak to Rock, Steel, Water -type attacks. Avoid using Normal, Poison-type moves as Anorith resists them. Focus your team on the highest DPS counters from the list below — even budget options without Shadow or Mega forms perform well in larger groups.
Top 3 counters: The strongest lineup against Anorith is Primal Kyogre (65.576 DPS), Shadow Kyogre (59.939 DPS), and Mega Lucario (59.733 DPS). Shadow variants deal 20% more damage but take 20% more — worth it for short-man attempts.
Catching Anorith: After defeating Anorith, the catch encounter will have a CP between 838 and 895 at level 20. With weather boost, the range is 1042-1114 at level 25. A perfect 100% IV Anorith from raids will have exactly 895 CP — look for that number! Use Golden Razz Berries and Excellent curveball throws to maximize your catch rate.
