Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty Gengar wearing a Party Hat goes down with 2 trainers running optimal counters at level 40+. Plan for 4+ if your team is not fully powered up.

Do not bring Fighting, Bug, Normal damage — Gengar wearing a Party Hat resists it and your lobby will run out of time before it runs out of HP. Everything in the counter list above already hits for super effective damage, so pick the six highest entries you actually own and power up.

In Fog, Cloudy weather the boss hits harder and survives longer, but the catch encounter is level 25 instead of 20 — a harder fight for a better reward. Bring one extra trainer on boosted runs.

On the catch screen, use Golden Razz Berries and aim for Excellent curveball throws; the shiny check happens the moment the encounter loads, so you will know before your first throw.
