How to defeat 4-star Chansey raids solo in Pokemon GO

The two most important factors to consider when attempting to solo defeat a raid boss in Pokemon GO are its elemental typing and stat distribution. Chansey is a Normal-type Pocket Monster, so it is weak only to Fighting-type attacks. On the other hand, Ghost is the only type of attack it resists.

It has base 60 Attack, 128 Defense, and 486 Stamina. However, this gigantic Stamina stat won't factor in this battle since raid bosses have a fixed HP bar. In 4-star, Chansey has 9,000 HP and a total Combat Power of 8,508. You will get 180 seconds to knock out this critter.

When it comes to moves, Chansey may use Pound or Zen Headbutt as its Fast Attack and Psychic, Hyper Beam, or Dazzling Gleam as its Charged Attack. Considering it only has a base 60 Attack, none of these should be particularly threatening.

Based on these factors, here are some of the best counters to take down 4-star Chansey raids in Pokemon GO on your own:

• Shadow or Mega Blaziken with Counter and Focus Blast
• Terrakion with Double Kick and Sacred Sword
• Keldeo with Low Kick and Sacred Sword
• Mega Lopunny with Double Kick and Focus Blast
• Shadow Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch
• Lucario with Counter and Aura Sphere
• Shadow Hariyama with Counter and Dynamic Punch
• Conkeldurr with Counter and Dynamic Punch
• Shadow Toxicroak with Counter and Dynamic Punch
• Galarian Zapdos with Counter and Close Combat
• Shadow Sneasler with Poison Jab and Close Combat

To win, make sure only to take counters that are level 40 and above. Moreover, dodging some Charged Attacks will improve your chances of taking down this raid boss alone. In case your entire team faints, have a stock of Max Revives so that you don't waste time separately reviving and healing your team members.
