Can you solo defeat Shadow Wobbuffet in Pokemon GO 3-star Shadow Raids?

As mentioned above, Shadow Wobbuffet is a Psychic-type Pocket Monster. As a result, this creature is vulnerable to the following elemental typings:

• Bug
• Dark
• Ghost

This shadow beast, thanks to its Psychic elemental typing, is resistant to the following types of monsters:

• Fighting
• Psychic

As a 3-star Shadow Psychic-type raid boss, Shadow Wobbuffet will have an attack stat of 60 and a defense stat of 106. Once you deplete 1/3 of its HP, it will get Enraged, which increases its Attack by approximately 80% and Defense by a whopping 200%.

Despite these factors, it is possible to solo defeat Shadow Wobbuffet, as long as you use ideal counters. The following section elaborates on how to go about the process.

Access to Counter and Charm makes Dark-type critters less ideal. Therefore, you should go for Ghosts, with the best option being Mega Gengar. Thanks to its Ghost and Poison-typing, it triple resists the Fighting-type counter and single resists the Fairy-type Charm. Splash deals no damage at all.

On the downside, Mega Gengar takes super-effective hits from incoming Mirror Shots. Despite Shadow Wobbuffet's low Attack and Mirror Shot being a generally weak move, these add up over time. This means you must consistently dodge all Charged Attacks the raid boss uses to maximize your Mega Gengar's longevity. This is key to make sure you complete the raid within the 180 seconds you are given.

In addition to Mega Gengar, you can have the following critters on your team to round up your attempt to solo defeat Shadow Wobbuffet in Pokemon GO:

• Shadow Chandelure with Hex and Shadow Ball
• Shadow Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
• Gholdengo with Hex and Shadow Ball
• Shadow Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
• Giratina Origin with Shadow Claw and Shadow Force

Do not bother using Purified Gems on Shadow Wobbuffet, as you get a maximum of five per raid, and it takes eight to subdue the raid boss. Instead carry Max Revives to get your team back in action when they faint, and use the Revive All feature to save as much time as possible.
