Kartana is one of the 11 Ultra Beasts that you will come across in the Pokemon universe. Thanks to the Season of Light event you will now be able to spot and even catch Kartana in Pokemon GO. This Grass/Steel type Pokemon has been spotted only in the Northern Hemisphere till now, but there’s a chance it might be available in other parts of the world as well.
That said, Ultra Beasts are really powerful and in order to fight them, you’ll need to have a solid team. That said, here’s a list of Pokemon that can easily counter Kartana’s moves in Pokemon GO.
How to defeat Kartana in Pokemon GO?
As mentioned above, Kartana is a Grass/Steel type Pokemon. It can be easily countered by Fire-type and Fighting-type Pokemon in the game, with fire being its biggest weakness. Here are a few Pokemon that shine against Kartana in battle:
- Charizard (Mega Y) – Fire Spin/Blast Burn
- Charizard (Mega X)- Fire Spin/Blast Burn
- Houndoom (Mega) – Fire Fang/Fire Blast
- Shadow Ho-oh – Incinerate/ Sacred Fire
- Chandelure – Fire Spin/Overheat
- Reshiram – Fire Fang/Overheat
- Darmanitan – Fire Fang/Overheat
- Moltres – Fire Spin/Overheat
- Heatran – Fire Spin/Flamethrower
- Entei – Fire Fang/Overheat
- Arcanine (Hisuian) – Fire Fang/Flamethrower
- Charizard – Fire Spin/Blast Burn
- Terrakion – Double Kick/ Sacred Sword
- Lopunny (Mega) – Double Kick/ Focus Blast
This list is heavily dominated by Fire-type Pokemon because fire attacks deal twice the damage when compared to fighting attacks. Now, you don’t really need to use the Pokemon mentioned here. As long as you take some Fire-type Pokemon into battle along with a few allies, you should be able to take down Kartana without much difficulty.
