NianticThundurus Incarnate weaknesses
Thundurus Incarnate is weak only to Rock and Ice-type moves. It can resist Ground, Fighting, Flying, Bug, Steel, and Grass-type moves, so try to avoid those attacks for a more efficient Raid.
It’s recommended to face this 5-Star Raid with at least three or four high-level trainers, but it can also be attainable with a group of five to seven lower-level folks.
Thundurus Incarnate will mostly rely on Electric-type attacks that deal the most damage thanks to STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). But keep in mind that it can also know the Fighting-type Charged Move Brick Break, which is super-effective against both Rock and Ice types. So, be sure to dodge if the Raid Boss uses this move.
