Pokémon GO Giratina (Altered Forme) 5-Star Raid Guide — Weaknesses & Recommended Attackers (November 2026)
Giratina Altered Forme will appear in 5-star Raids from Wednesday, November 4, 2026 at 6 a.m. through Sunday, November 8, 2026 at 10 p.m. Shiny Giratina is also available. The boss is boosted in Fog or Windy weather (catch level 25 when boosted).
Weak Types
Giratina Altered Forme is a dual Ghost/Dragon type. Its actual weaknesses are Ice, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy — all at ×1.6. There are no double weaknesses (×2.56), so the choice of attacker is relatively flexible. Dragon attackers hit hard, but keep in mind that Dragon moves also work against them in return, so watch your durability. Ghost and Dark attackers are the safer choices.
