To solo defeat Charjabug in Pokemon GO and get an encounter with its regular and shiny variant in post-battle scenarios, you must charge it with super-effective counters. The Into the Wild Area event is set to bring back Charjabug 3-star raids for trainers to join and challenge. The combat power of a Raid Boss Charjabug is 12,735, and it possesses inferior damage-dealing Electric-, Bug-, and Dark-type attacks. It is not a powerful entity, so you should be able to solo defeat Charjabug in Pokemon GO.

In this guide, you can find out how to win these battles without the help of other Pokemon GO players.

Charjabug is a dual Electric- and Grass-type Pocket Monster. Hence, it is 160% weak to Fire- and Rock-type attacks. In the game, you can find so many monsters that can be taught these attacks to inflict increased damage. Regardless, focus on utilizing parties with access to potent Fire- and Rock-type moves.

If you teach these moves to Pokemon of the same typing, they can deal additional damage (1.2x) because of the activation of the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) effect. Further, powerhouses with Legendary, Mythical, Mega, and Shadow status can put more pressure on this Raid Boss.

You can easily solo defeat Charjabug in Pokemon GO Tier 3 battles by joining them with Mega Blaziken, Shadow Heatran, Shadow Rampardos, Shadow Darmanitan, Reshiram, and Volcarona as counters. The time given to winning against it is 180 seconds, and most of the counters we have recommended take less than 100 seconds to beat it in extreme conditions.

The effectiveness of the Weather Boost effect should be considered vital because it improves the damage output of moves of a Pokemon. For example, a Mega Blaziken’s Fire Spin and Blast Burn attacks become powerful in Sunny Weather. Therefore, 3-star battles featuring Charjabug in any weather scenario can be won solo pretty easily.

Remember to utilize Revive, Max Revive, and Potions to heal your counters to solo defeat Charjabug in Pokemon GO. Now, let’s take a look at the best Charjabug raid counters.
