Incarnate Forme Landorus weaknesses in Pokemon Go
Incarnate Forme Landorus is a unique dual Ground/Flying-type, which means it’s weak to Water-type moves and has a double weakness towards Ice-type attacks, so keep those kinds of Pokemon in mind when building your team.
Additionally, this Legendary is resistant to Electric, Fighting, Poison, Bug, and also Ground-type attacks, so there’s no point in using them during combat, as they won’t deal much damage at all.

We’d recommend having at least four trainers take on Incarnate Forme Landorus, as it will be a difficult boss to defeat. Its double weakness to Ice-type moves should help make the fight easier, though.
How to get Incarnate Forme Landorus in Pokemon Go
As with all the other Legendary Pokemon in the game, Incarnate Forme Landorus can only be obtained after defeating it in a 5-Star Raid battle and catching it with the Premier Ball you’re given. However, not all Legendaries are available as Raid bosses all the time.
Luckily for players, this genie will return to 5-Star Raid battles from Monday, June 10, 2024, until Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Additionally, it will be featured during the Raid Hour on June 12, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.
The Pokemon CompanyCan Incarnate Forme Landorus be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
Yes, Incarnate Forme Landorus can be Shiny in Pokemon Go, as this variation was introduced into the game at the start of Season of Legends back in 2021. However, the differences between both regular and Shiny Incarnate Forme Landorus are barely visible, as its tones only get a little lighter.
Unlike hunting Shinies in the wild, where trainers can use Incense or Spotlight Hours to help increase their chances, there aren’t really any ways to make this process less time-consuming when it comes to Raids.
This means the more 5-Star Raids with Incarnate Forme Landorus you take part in, the more likely you are to encounter a Shiny variation.
