Lower tier Battle Raids inPokemon GOusually don’t provide too much of a challenge for experienced players, but it’s still wise to take some time ahead of each battle to master the enemy’s weaknesses and build an optimal counter roster to maximize performance. Trainers who deal optimal damage in a Battle Raid are rewarded with morePremier Balls for encounter rewards, so it’s worth the extra prep time.
When it comes to dealing maximum damage inPokemon GOBattle Raids, it’s all about understanding the boss' weaknesses and build a counter roster that can take advantage of those. For Druddigon, a tier three Battle Raid boss, that’s going to mean focusing on Fairy-, Ice-,and Dragon-typesto exploit the best match ups against a Dragon-type.

Tier 3 Battle Raids Raids can be taken down solo by max level characters who have an optimal counter roster in place, but trainers will want to ensure they’ve done their homework before making an attempt like that. Otherwise, entering the Battle Raid with justone or two friendswho are using smart counters should be a safe path to victory for the average player.

As trainers work on assembling their optimal roster, they may want to consider burning throughsome TMs, Candy, and Stardust, as well. Those precious resources are hard to let go of, but most of these counter options can be used again in future Battle Raids and are well worth dropping some resources into as a long-term investment. Players who are lacking the top tier options listed here should be able to find success, as long as they stick to the recommended counter-types and enter the battle with a couple of buddies.
That should be everything trainers need to know for this particular Battle Raid. Be sure to check back in the near future for morePokemon GOnews, updates, and strategy guides. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
