Flaaffy is an Electric-type critter in the mobile game, making it weak against Ground-type moves. Hence, you should teach these moves to counters to inflict increased damage on the Raid Boss to take it down on your own. However, it is important to have such counters that are aggressive, defensively potent, and can withstand Flaaffy's onslaught in 3-star raids.

The Weather Boost effect can make Flaaffy powerful in rainy weather conditions as it improves the damage output of some of its moves. However, while it might seem foolish to take on this Pokemon in rainy weather, doing so can net you an encounter with a Flaaffy that has boosted IVs. Also, note that you have just 180 seconds to bring down this critter in 3-star raids, so possessing strong counters is crucial for success.

If you have Mega and Shadow Pokemon - Legendary and Mythical creatures are preferable here - to solo defeat Flaaffy in Pokemon GO, you can challenge it in any weather without breaking a sweat. However, it is best to join those raids that can make Ground-type counters rugged to boost your chances of success.

Even low-level can raid parties become effective when utilized strategically in the right environment. So, it is advisable to challenge the Raid Boss in that weather which benefits your team.

As a final note, activate the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) effect by teaching moves that correspond to your counter's type.
