Yes, it is possible to solo defeat Drampa in Pokemon GO 3-star raids.

There are two important factors to consider when planning to take down a raid boss on your own: its elemental typing and stats. Drampa is a Normal and Dragon-type Pocket Monster. This means it is weak to Fighting, Fairy, Ice, and Dragon-type attacks.

As far as stats go, Drampa has base 231 Attack and 164 Defense. Therefore, the critter can hit fairly hard, but it is not that good at taking hits. In 3-star raids, it will have 3,600 HP to its name, which brings its combat power to 19,748 CP. You have 180 seconds to take this raid boss down.

Drampa's Fast Attack options are Extrasensory and Dragon Breath, while its Charged Attack options include Dragon Pulse, Outrage, and Fly. As most of these are Dragon-type options, the best counters to Drampa in Pokemon GO are Level 40+ Fairy-types. They can hit it for super effective damage while heavily resisting most of Drampa's attacks.

Here is a list of the best Fairy-type counters to solo defeat Drampa in Pokemon GO 3-star raids:

• Shadow Gardevoir and Dazzling Gleam
• Xerneas with Geomancy and Moonblast
• Shadow Granbull with Charm and Play Rough
• Togekiss with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
• Mega Gardevoir with Charm and Dazzling Gleam
• Mega Diancie with Rock Throw and Moonblast

If you are unable to build a team of only high-level Fairy-type Pocket Monsters, you can include some of the following critters as well:

• Shadow Mamoswine with Mud Slap and Avalanche
• Shadow Weavile with Ice Shard and Avalanche
• Shadow or regular Articuno with Frost Breath and Blizzard
• Terrakion with Double Kick and Sacred Sword
• Shadow Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch
• Lucario with Counter and Aura Sphere
• Shadow Garchomp with Dragon Tail and Outrage
• Shadow Salamance with Dragon Tail and Outrage
• Shadow Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Outrage

Having the best counters may not always be enough to solo defeat Drampa in Pokemon GO 3-star raids. You should ensure that your attacker dodges some of the incoming Charged Attacks to increase their longevity on the battlefield.

Lastly, having a stock of Max Revives can be useful. You will not have to waste time reviving and healing separately in case your team members faint.
