Pokemon Go Raids are a great opportunity to get special items and catching a Boss Pokemon. These Raids are best enjoyed with friends. However, it is possible to win a Raid alone in Pokemon Go depending on the difficulty level. There are 4 difficulty tiers in Pokemon Go: Tier 1, Tier 3, Tier 5, and Mega Raids. The higher the difficulty level, the lesser the likelihood of players pulling off a solo win.
How To Win A Raid Alone In Pokemon GO?
As we stated before, it is not possible to pull off 5 Star and Mega Raids alone due to their difficulty level. For these Raid Bosses players should team up with other Trainers to battle together. Players can invite up to 5 other friends to join them for a Raid as long as there is space in the lobby. However, for Tier 1 and Tier 3 Raids, players stand a chance of winning solo by keeping a few points in mind. Let us take a look at them.
Deal High Damage
Players have the best chance if they maximize their damage output. To do this, players must have some knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of specific Pokemon. After that, they can choose Pokemon that can deal maximum damage against the Raid Boss.
Dodge
The second tip to win alone in Pokemon Go is to dodge Charged Attacks from the Raid Boss. Players can do this by swiping left or right on their screens. This will reduce the damage taken by the Pokemon and ensure that they stay in the Raid without fainting.
Mega-Evolved Pokemon
Players that use mega-evolved Pokemon will definitely have an edge in a Raid battle. These provide special bonuses that can come in handy during the battle.
If players fail to win a Raid on their first attempt, they can join the raid and battle again. They will not need a Raid Pass till the Raid’s timer has run out.
