A raft of Pok\u00e9mon are currently up for grabs in Pok\u00e9mon Go thanks to its Inbound from Ultra Space event, with the likes of Kartana being available in Raid Battles.<\/p>\n

We are creeping ever closer to the conclusion of this year\u2019s epic Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest 2024, with the Global event kicking off this coming weekend. Anyone can join in with this one from anywhere in the world, so it doesn\u2019t matter whether you live in the UK, Japan or America.<\/p>\n

But Inbound from Ultra Space is serving as a warm-up for Pok\u00e9mon Go players, providing the opportunity to take on a variety of Ultra creatures each day this week before Global begins.<\/p>\n

One of those highly sought-after Pok\u00e9mon is Kartana, and so we have prepared a guide on when you can expect to encounter the creature, as well as information on its weaknesses and the best counters to use against it.<\/p>\n

Read on for all the details on Kartana in Pok\u00e9mon Go.<\/p>\n

When is Kartana in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Raid battle timings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kartana will be available in 5-Star Raid Battles in Pok\u00e9mon Go on Wednesday 10th July 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Any other creatures that are appearing in Raid battles will also feature in a Raid Hour which takes place between 6<\/strong> and 7pm<\/strong> local time daily, according to a blog post<\/a> on the game\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that this only includes players in the Northern Hemisphere. However, those in the Southern Hemisphere will have the opportunity to do battle with Celesteela instead.<\/p>\n

For a full breakdown of the upcoming Raids schedule, you can read our list now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is Kartana weak against in Pok\u00e9mon Go?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kartana is weak against Fighting-type<\/strong> attacks, as well as (x2) Fire-type<\/strong> moves.<\/p>\n

It is a Grass and Steel-type Pok\u00e9mon, which explains why it has an unusual mixture of weaknesses.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon such as Charizard, Blaziken and Moltres are good options when it comes to using Fire-type monsters against Kartana. Meanwhile, Mega Blaziken, Lucario and Shadow Machamp are solid Pok\u00e9mon that use Fighting-type moves.<\/p>

We would recommend targeting Kartana\u2019s weakness to Fire-type moves when fighting it in a Raid Battle due to its x2 vulnerability.<\/p>\n

Below are five of the best counter options, alongside the Pok\u00e9mon that are best suited to dish out the damage.<\/p>\n
