    How many trainers do you need? If you have optimal counters that are at a very high level, you can win the fight with just 2 trainers. In this scenario, however, it can be a very tough and close fight.

    To ensure that you complete the battle successfully, you should therefore rely on more trainers. This is also necessary if you do not have optimal counters. If you put your raid teams together in advance, you can save a lot of time when the raid starts. Check out our tips for organizing your raid teams.
