To take down Floragato 3-star raids in Pokemon GO on your own, you should use creatures that deal super-effective damage and resist the Pocket Monster's moves. This makes Fire-type and Poison-type creatures the best options, especially if you have low-level (less than 30) counters.

Additionally, Mega Rayquaza and Mega Salamence, both Dragon- and Flying types, are well equipped to solo defeat Floragato in Pokemon GO 3-star raids easily if the creature doesn't have Charm and Play Rough as its moveset.

Here are the best options to solo defeat Floragato in Pokemon GO if this is the case:

Pokemon	Fast Move	Charged Move
Mega/Shadow Blaziken	Fire Spin	Blast Burn
Mega Charizard Y or X	Fire Spin	Blast Burn
Shadow Heatran	Fire Spin	Magma Storm
