The Ultra Beasts are a group of extradimensional Pokémon who entered the Pokémon universe during Gen 7. The first Ultra Beast to make an appearance in Pokémon Go was Nihilego as part of the first Go Fest event in 2022; Kartana, meanwhile, was originally released during Season of Light alongside Kartana in September 2022 as a regional exclusive. Ready to battle? Here’s Celesteela’s weaknesses and counters in Pokémon Go - and when caught, the best Celesteela moveset. On this page:
Celesteela type - Steel / Flying Celesteela is weak against - Fire and Electric-types Best Celesteela counters - Entei, Shadow Ho-Oh, Moltres and Reshiram for fire-types, and Raikou, Electivire and Zapdos for electric-types. Other Celesteela notes - Electric types tend to be a little more readily available in terms of counter options if you need to quickly power up a team - but since both electric and fire are as useful as the other here, feel free to mix and match.
Celesteela Raid CP - 39,774 CP CP range for catching Celesteela - 1694 to 1772 CP Weather (Cloudy or Rain) when being caught - 2117 to 2216 CP Max Celesteela CP (at level 40) - 3507 CP
The Season of Mythical Wishes continues with the Winter Holiday event, which has brought Mega Glalie to Pokémon Go. Don’t forget to partake in the new Go Battle League season.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres.
Otherwise, going for Heavy Slam as the Charged move can work if you are short of Charged TMs.

Fast Moves:
Air Slash (Flying) Smack Down (Rock)
Charged Moves:
Body Slam (Normal) Bulldoze (Ground) Heavy Slam (Steel) Iron Head (Steel)
On debut, Celesteela is only available in gyms in the Southern Hemisphere - meaning if it doesn’t appear locally for you, you must receive a remote raid invite to battle and attempt to catch. As part of Gen 7, Celesteela debuted in Pokémon Sun and Moon where it could be encountered during the postgame of Moon. According to the offical Pokédex entry, Celesteela is described as “one of the dangerous” Ultra Beasts, with “high energy readings can be detected coming from both of its huge arms.” Additionally, “although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.” Good to know!. Good luck catching Celesteela in Pokémon Go!
