Breloom is currently a raid boss in the three-star raids in Pokemon GO. Therefore, knowing its weaknesses and strengths will be quite beneficial when challenging the boss.
Breloom evolves from Shroomish by using 50 Candies in Pokemon GO. This Pokemon is a Grass and Fighting-type, leaving it quite vulnerable to many other types. Flying, Fairy, Psychic, Fire, Ice, and Poison are all types of Pokemon that can counter Breloom successfully.
Breloom is especially vulnerable to the Flying Type moves that some Pokemon can use. That being said, any Flying Type will be an effective choice against Breloom in these three-star raids, but some select Pokemon will be extra handy to have going into these raids.
