Use this as a starting point for Celebi. The actual best raid set depends on the boss's weaknesses, weather, Party Power and available forms.
PvP sets are open-league starting points, not guarantees for every team or matchup. Ranked sets come from PvPoke simulations; unranked Pokémon receive a clearly labeled DexJourney estimate. The raid set is a neutral same-type cycle estimate rather than a boss-specific counter ranking.
