Pokémon Go: The Best Swirlix Raid Counters
Swirlix is a Fairy-Type Cotton Candy Pokémon in Pokémon Go that is considered a Tier-1 Raid due to its low CP of 3500+. Therefore, defeating Swirlix even without counter Pokémon is feasible. Yet, those aiming for the highest chance of victory will need to select a party based on taking advantage of Swirlix's weaknesses. As a Fairy-Type Pokémon, Swirlix is highly susceptible to Poison and Steel-type Moves, from which it will receive 160% damage values. On the other hand, players are advised not to face Swirlix with Fighting-, Bug-, Dark-, or Dragon-type Pokémon.
During a Raid in Pokémon Go, Swirlix will typically use Tackle as its basic Quick Move and Draining Kiss for its charged Main Move. Tackle has a potential 10 damage-per-second while Draining Kiss has a DPS of 27.7. It is important to note that Swirlix can be caught from Raids at values of 625 – 673 CP at Level 20 without a Weather Boost. However, these values can increase to 781 – 842 CP during Cloudy Weather Conditions.
