Each Ultra Beast hails from a realm outside the Pokémon Go reality and the first to appear in the game was Nihilego during the Go Fest event in June 2022. Xurkitree made its debut at the Go Fest Sapporo event in August 2022, but is now available to players worldwide. With everyone now having the ability to battle Xurkitree - whether in-person or through a Remote Raid Pass - it’s a great idea to learn Xurkitree’s weaknesses and counters. On this page:
Xurkitree type - Electric Xurkitree is weak against - Ground-types Best Xurkitree counters - Rhydon, Groudon, Garchomp, Rhyperior, Mamoswine, Krookodile, Excadrill, Golurk and Landorus - Therian preferred, but Incarnate will also work well. Other Xurkitree notes - As you can see, the easiest way to take down Xurkitree is to pack your team with powerful ground-type Pokémon who are all using strong ground-type moves. This will allow you to fully focus on Xurkitree’s single weaknesses and defeat it as quickly as possible.
Xurkitree Raid CP - 53,279 CP CP range for catching Xurkitree - 2155 to 2249 CP Weather (Rain) when being caught - 2695 to 2812 CP Max Xurkitree CP (at level 40) - 3,937 CP

As previously mentioned, Xurkitree debuted in Pokémon Go during August 2022 at the Go Fest Sapporo event. This meant, for a short while, only attendees of this event had Xurkitree in their Pokédex, but, thanks to the Go Fest 2022 Finale event, it became available worldwide. Xurkitree’s design appears to have been inspired by electrical wiring; its arms and legs being constructed out of interwoven cords tied together with spikes which resemble cable markers. Yet, thanks to its star-like head and fairy light look of the cable markers, Xurkitree also brings a Christmas tree to mind. No matter how you interpret Xukritree’s design, make sure you catch it in Pokémon Go!
