As a solo raider, you should never compromise on using Pokemon and their best moves to beat Druddigon in Pokemon GO 3-star raids. The counters must be strong against the boss. Therefore, you should build a battle party around its weaknesses.

Since Druddigon is a Dragon-type Pokemon, it is weak against the following moves:

• Dragon
• Ice
• Fairy

Its solo typing helps it resist these attacks:

• Electric
• Fire
• Grass
• Water

Stats of the Pokemon:

• Max CP: 3088
• Attack: 213
• Defense: 170
• Stamina:184
• Possible Fast Moves: Bite and Dragon Tail
• Possible Charged Moves: Hyper Beam, Nite Slash, and Dragon Claw

Whenever a Pokemon is introduced in the Raid Battles, its CP and HP get a dramatic boost. Hence, be careful of its increased power. Keep that in mind and create the ideal raid counters to have the upper hand over its boosted capacities.
