How to solo defeat Wyrdeer in Pokemon GO 3-star raids

Solo defeating Wyrdeer in Pokemon GO 3-star raids can be a difficult affair if not prepared properly. This is the evolved form of Stantler, a Gen II Pocket Monster that received a brand new evolution in the Pokemon Legends: Arceus game. The season of Timeless Travels in Niantic's mobile game marks the release of many critters from this region, including the Hisuian starters and their shinies.

It will be available from September 18, 2024, as part of the Psychic Spectacular event, until the next raid cycle.

Raids are supposed to be a community activity, but considering Wyrdeer in Pokemon GO is a 3-star raid boss, many players might want to challenge in alone. Thankfully, it is possible to defeat it as a solo raider. This guide will tell you the details you should be aware of to come out successful every time.

How to defeat Wyrdeer raids alone in Pokemon GO

Firstly, you should know that Wyrdeer is a Normal and Psychic-type Pocket Monster. This means it has only two weaknesses: Dark and Bug. These are the types of raid attackers you want on your team for this challenge. The Pokemon also has two resistances—Psychic and Ghost—and you should avoid having attacks of these types on your team.

Wyrdeer in Pokemon GO has a base Attack of 206 and a base Defense stat of 145. As a 3-star raid boss, the critter has 14,883 CP and 3,600 HP to its name, and you will have 180 seconds to defeat it.

Wyrdeer can use Confusion, Zen Headbutt, and Tackle as its Fast Attack, while its Charged Attack options are Stomp, Psychic, Megahorn, and Wild Charge.

Both Bug and Dark-type raid attackers can get you good results. The former takes neutral damage from all of Wyrdeer's attacks, while the latter resists all Psychic-type attacks but takes super-effective damage from Mega Horn. Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Choose your team based on whatever options are available to you.
