UsuallyPokemon GOBattle Raid fans are focused onLegendary and Mega bosses, but tier three challenges shouldn’t be overlooked. The lower tier Battle Raids can often be solo’d and offer an easier path to completing raid-relates Field Tasks in addition to providing some powerful item and encounter rewards.
Although Tier 3 bosses are possible to solo, that is only the case if players understand the boss' weaknesses and assemble a strategic counter roster. EachPokemon has its own strengths and weaknessesand part of preparing for an effective Battle Raid means studying those weaknesses and forming a respectable counter roster. Players who are ready to face off against Breloom have one very important double weakness to keep in mind as they assemble their team.

Breloom’s Grass- and Fighting-type pairing gives players a handful of weaknesses as options, including one very important 2x weakness to Flying-type moves. Although tier 3 Battle Raids aren’t as challenging as Legendary and Mega showdowns, trainers may still want to take the time to spend someStardust, Candy, and Elite TMsto get everything in order before the fight.
