It is possible to solo defeat Torracat in Pokemon GO 4-star raids. However, it can be challenging, as you will be racing against the clock without the ideal counters.

Torracat is a Fire-type Pocket Monster, making it weak to Water, Ground, and Rock-type moves. These weaknesses can be exploited to take down the critter within the 180 seconds you will be given.

Before getting into the perfect counters to Torracat and the strategies to help you in the battle, here are its stats and move pool:

• Combat Power: 19,477
• Attack: 174
• Defense: 103
• Stamina: 9,000 HP
• Fast Attacks: Bite, Ember
• Charged Attacks: Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Crunch

Torracat is quite squishy, and therefore, you should have a fairly easy time whittling down its HP bar within the given time with the ideal counters. Since most of its moves are Fire-type, Water and Rock-type critters will deal super effective damage to the raid boss while resisting incoming attacks.

Based on that, here are some of the best counters for the Torracat raid:

• Primal Kyogre with Water Fall and Origin Pulse
• Mega Swampert with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
• Shadow Kingler with Bubble and Crabhammer
• Greninja with Water Shuriken and Hydro Cannon
• Shadow or regular Aggron with Smack Down and Meteor Beam
• Shadow or Mega Tyranitar with Smack Down and Stone Edge
• Mega Aerodactyl with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
• Shadow Rhyperior with Smack Down and Rock Wrecker

Your team needs to be between level 40 and level 50 if you are to solo defeat Torracat in Pokemon GO 4-star raids. You must also practice dodging some of its incoming attacks. Carrying a stock of Max Revives is also crucial so that you don't waste time separately reviving and healing your team in case they faint during the fight.
