Pokemon GO raid guide for Chinchou, Larvitar, Fletchling, and Bounsweet

Chinchou, Larvitar, Fletchling, and Bounsweet are back in one-star Pokemon GO raids. One-star raids are one of the game's easiest battles, as you don’t need Mega and Legendary Pokemon to win. Budget counters with low Combat Power (CP) are as good as trained raid parties that can take down these raid bosses. Players can simply beat these critters solo by exploiting their type weaknesses.

The Pokemon GO Shared Skies season has brought back Larvitar, Chinchou, Bounsweet, and Fletchling raids to the game. Once you defeat them, you are eligible to encounter either their regular or shiny forms.
