Hisuian Samurott Weakness

As you can probably gather from the list of the best counters to use in the Pokemon GO Hisuian Samurott raid, you can probably guess that it has more than one weakness. In fact, it has five: Bug, Electric, Fairy, Grass and Fighting. All of these attacks do 160% damage. On the other hand, it is resistant to Fire, Dark, Ghost, Ice, Water and Steel attacks (63% damage) and especially Psychic (39% damage).

While we’re on the subject of different attacks, let’s list the ones Hisuian Samurott has. Its Fast Moves include Snarl (Dark), Fury Cutter (Bug) and Waterfall (Water). The choice of Charged Moves include Dark Pulse (Dark), X-Scissor (Bug), Icy Wind (Ice) and Razor Shell (Water). The best combo is Snarl and Razor Shell, but any of the three Fast Moves work pretty well, too.

Can Hisuian Samurott be Shiny?

Yes, Hisuian Samurott can be shiny, so the Pokemon GO Raid Day is going to be a great chance to potentially catch one of them. In fact, the special version will spawn more often during the event, so you should definitely participate. It is not super-easy to tell the difference between a shiny and regular Hisuian Samurott, but it’s not overly difficult, either. Basically, the creature’s “helmet” and “shin pads” will be white and off-white instead of black and red.

By the way, the Hisuian Samurott Raid Day will take place on December 3rd, 2023, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. It will come with various event bonuses, as well as a five-dollar Event Ticket. For more details on the Raid Day, check out the official announcement.
