Best strategy to solo defeat Dawn Wings Necrozma in Pokemon GO

Ideally, you should use Dark-type Pocket Monsters when challenging Dawn Wings Necrozma. This is because they will resist most of the raid boss' potential Fast and Charged Attacks.

Build a team and plan out a strategy before committing to the battle, for optimal performance. Relobbying with a single type of Pokemon is often a more reliable strategy than picking a team of the top six attackers available to you. In this case, use Max Revives and the "Revive All" feature to save time.

Lastly, make sure your phone has enough charge and is connected to a stable network, as technical issues can make completing this challenge harder — if not straight-up impossible.
