So how to obtain it in the game? Read to find out.

How to Get Cresselia in Pokemon Go?

A Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon, Cresselia is only available in Raids at limited times and one thing that the players should know that it cannot be obtained from eggs. Always keep an eye out for events in which you will be able to battle and catch rare Pokemon. The last time Cresselia was available as a raid boss was in the Halloween event. 

Since both Cresselia and Giratina are vulnerable to Ghost-type and Dark-type attacks, many of the Pokémon used against Giratina would also be successful against Cresselia. The only other drawback of this Psychic-type is that it is vulnerable to the Bug-type.

Make every Premier Ball count because you'll only have a certain number of Premier Balls to capture Cresselia until you've defeated her. If you beat Cresselia with your mates, you will win more Premier Balls, so carry them along. Until each throw, use a Golden Razz Berry, and remember to gather them by beating other Raid Bosses.
