Raid guide

How the fight goes and what to bring.

Trainer difficulty 2 trainers with six level-40 top counters each; plan for 4+ with mixed teams. Worked out from the boss HP, the raid timer and the counter DPS above.

Giratina is Ghost/Dragon, weak to Ghost, Dragon, Ice, Dark, and Fairy — plenty of options, with other Ghosts and Dragons leading the charge. It's a comfortable trio and duo-able when it's the Altered Forme. The real value here is PvP: Origin Forme is a top-tier Ultra League pick thanks to Shadow Claw spam and Shadow Ball/Dragon pulse pressure, and Altered Forme is a defensive wall. As a Ghost raid attacker, Origin Giratina is also excellent. This is one of the highest-value legendaries for competitive players.

Giratina (Altered) resists Fighting, Normal, Bug, Electric, Fire, Grass, Poison, Water — leave those attackers out even if they are your highest CP.
