Niantic unleashes “Final Justice” in Pokémon Go-a cryptic event blending rare Field Research tasks with shadowy Pokémon pursuits that could reshape your roster overnight.
Pokémon Go ‘Final Justice’ event Field Research and rewards
During the Pokémon Go ‘Final Justice’ event, Field Research tasks center on catching specific Pokémon and battling in raids. Completing them yields rewards like Stardust, Poké Balls, and encounters with event-featured Pokémon such as Tyranitar or themed shiny variants. Special research lines offer exclusive items, including Rare Candies and event-exclusive movesets for select species. Players spin Photo Discs at PokéStops to access these tasks, which rotate hourly for variety.
How to complete Swords of Justice Collection Challenge
The Swords of Justice Collection Challenge from Pokémon Go’s Final Justice event requires catching three specific legendary Pokémon. It rewards 10,000 XP, 10,000 Stardust, and a Premium Battle Pass upon completion.
Required Pokémon
Catch one of each:
-
Cobalion
-
Terrakion
-
Virizion
How to Obtain Them
These Pokémon were available exclusively as 5-star raid bosses during the event (November 25-30, 2025). Use daily free Raid Passes from gym photo discs, plus Remote Raid Passes for flexibility-Virizion is soloable by high-level players, while Cobalion and Terrakion are duoable with friends or apps like PokeGenie. The challenge was available until 8 PM local time on November 30, 2025, but expired afterward.
Best counters for Cobalion raid
Cobalion, a Steel/Fighting-type legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Go raids, is weak to Fire, Fighting, and Ground-type moves. Top counters exploit these weaknesses for efficient clears, ideally in groups of 3-5 players with maxed-out attackers.
Top Counters
Use these Pokémon with their optimal movesets for maximum DPS:
| Rank | Pokémon | Fast Move | Charged Move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Lucario | Force Palm | Aura Sphere | |
| Primal Groudon | Mud Shot | Precipice Blades | |
| Mega Blaziken | Fire Spin | Blast Burn | |
| Mega Y Charizard | Fire Spin | Blast Burn | |
| Mega Garchomp | Mud Shot | Earth Power | |
| Shadow Groudon | Mud Shot | Precipice Blades |
Raid Tips
Dodge Cobalion’s fast moves like Double Kick or Metal Claw, and bait its charged attacks such as Sacred Sword. Cloudy, Sunny, or Snow weather boosts your counters-aim for 3 players under ideal conditions or 4-7 for lower levels. Shadow and Mega variants outperform standard ones significantly.
