Tip: Defeat and catch Arktos

• Just like with Lugia, you shouldn't compete against Arktos alone, because it's almost indomitable. So only fight in a team with other trainers if you want to be successful.
• Once you've found a group, target its weaknesses and use the following Pokémon against Arktos: Flamara, Arkani, Amoroso, Tornupto, Scherox, Heiteira or Despotar.
• Once you have defeated Arktos, you can capture it and add it to your Pokédex. However, like other legendary Pokémon, it has a low catch rate of around 2%.
• So make sure you have enough balls. Above all, use hyperballs in combination with golden raspberries to increase the chance of catching. You will receive the golden berries as a reward for raids.
• Once Arktos has become your team member, you can use it to fight opposing Pokémon in arenas. However, it cannot be placed as an arena defender.
