Paldean Wooper is a Poison and Ground-type Pocket Monster, which means it has four weaknesses: Water, Ground, Ice, and Psychic. It resists Fighting, Poison, Rock, Bug, and Fairy-type attacks. The rest of the elemental types do neutral damage to it, but when going solo, you want only critters that can do STAB super-effective damage to the raid boss.

In Pokemon GO, Paldean Wooper has a base Attack of 75, along with 66 Defense and 146 Stamina. As a 4-star raid boss, it will have 7,684 CP and 9,000 HP to its name. You will have 180 seconds to complete this challenge.
