Paldean Tauros has officially stampeded onto "Pokémon Go" as part of April 2025's Stunning Styles event. Taking place between April 3 and 7, the limited-time event sees the first-ever run of all three breeds of Paldean Tauros: Combat, Blaze, and Aqua.
But there's a catch: each breed is tied to certain regional locations, meaning that if you're looking to get the trio, remote raids will be your best friend. This also means that it won't be currently available through Field or Timed Research or in the wild. However, players can only catch it by joining three-star raids within the event period.
Where to Find Every Paldean Tauros Breed
All three Paldean Tauros breeds are region-locked, so gathering them proves somewhat of a globe-hopping ordeal unless you're fortunate enough to have distant raid passes and far-flung friends.
Combat Breed Paldean Tauros
- Location: Exclusive to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal)
- Type: Mono Fighting-type
Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros
- Location: Exclusive to the Eastern Hemisphere
- Type: Fighting/Fire-type hybrid
Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros
- Location: Exclusive to the Western Hemisphere
- Type: Fighting/Water-type hybrid
If you're outside these zones, you'll need to remote raid with friends from those specific areas. Make sure to coordinate in global Pokémon Go communities to get raid invites and complete your collection.
Best Counters for Paldean Tauros Raids
Even though every Paldean Tauros breed is slightly different in typing, they all have the Fighting-type foundation. That makes them susceptible to Psychic- and Flying-type Pokémon. According to GameRant, here are the best counters for the raging bull.
- Rayquaza - Air Slash (Flying) & Dragon Ascent (Flying)
- Incarnate Forme Enamorus -Fairy Wind (Fairy) & Fly (Flying)
- Mewtwo - Confusion (Psychic) & Psychic (Psychic)
- Dawn Wings Necrozma - Psycho Cut (Psychic) & Moongeist Beam (Ghost)
- Hoopa Unbound - Confusion (Psychic) & Psychic (Psychic)
- Galarian Articuno - Psycho Cut (Psychic) & Brave Bird (Flying)
- Lunala - Confusion (Psychic) & Psychic (Psychic)
- Salamence - Dragon Tail (Dragon) & Fly (Flying)
- Dusk Mane Necrozma - Psycho Cut (Psychic) & Sunsteel Strike (Steel)
- Hoopa Confined - Confusion (Psychic) & Psychic (Psychic)
Take time to verify every Tauros' secondary typing to adjust your plan. Blaze Breed, for instance, receives additional damage from Water moves, while Aqua Breed is vulnerable against Electric and Grass attacks.
Does Paldean Tauros Count in the Kanto Pokédex?
Although Paldean Tauros is a recent regional variation, any of its appearances will be a Tauros entry in your Kanto Pokédex. This is an excellent chance for trainers outside North America, where Kanto Tauros is region-locked, to fill that spot.
