The higher the level of these critters, the faster you will be able to win the battle.

Weather boosts will make it easier for you to solo defeat Mega Blaziken in Pokemon GO. Windy weather boosts Flying and Psychic-type attacks, Rainy weather makes Water-type attacks more powerful, and Sunny or Clear weather bolsters Ground-type attacks.

When you have favorable weather by your side, you can expect to take the raid boss down even faster and can get away with having a slightly lower-than-recommended level.
