Pokemon GO Druddigon raid guide: Weaknesses and best counters

Druddigon can be found as a 3-star raid boss in Pokemon GO on multiple occasions. Known for their quick temper and tough skin, Druddigon roams the wilderness stealing dens from other Pokemon. The Pokedex claims that it absorbs sunlight through its wings to keep its body warm. If it gets too cold, it cannot move. Aside from this, it is a very sturdy dragon and a great addition to any trainer's team.

Pokemon GO Druddigon raids are available from October 4 - 14, 2024.

With this in mind, it may seem intimidating for players to challenge themselves in a Raid Battle. Luckily, no battle is impossible, and with Druddigon being a three-star Raid Boss, it will be easier than most serious threats.
