Sudowoodo is a Rock-type Pokemon from Johto with 160% weakness to type moves of Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water. Moreover, it is 62.5% resistant to Fire, Flying, Normal, and Poison-type attacks.

Therefore, if you want to beat Sudowoodo in Pokemon GO 3 star-raids alone, you have to use moves the critter is vulnerable against. It is best to leave the moves it withstands untouched.

Even though trainers are capable of winning against Sudowoodo without a team's help, they should be mindful of its attacks and stats. As a 3-star raid boss, this creature boasts an HP of 9000, a CP of 15091, an Attack stat of 167, and a Defense stat of 176. It will use the following Fast and Charged Moves:

• Fast Moves: Rock Throw and Counter
• Charged Moves: Earthquake, Rock Tomb, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Meteor Beam, and Trailblaze

When a boss Sudowoodoo uses the attacks above, the damage dealt will be much higher compared to when a regular form uses them. Thus, you should dodge them, as these attacks can easily damage your counters.

Note that you will only have 180 seconds to beat Sudowoodo in Pokemon GO 3-star raids solo.

To boost the likelihood of this achievement, you should utilize Pokemon that use Fighting, Grass, Ground, Steel, and Water-type moves. When a Pocket Monster and a move are of the same typing, the STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) effect activates, increasing the total damage output of the counter’s moveset.
