Pokemon GO Sliggoo raid guide: Best counters and weaknesses

With the help of a Pokemon GO Sliggoo raid guide, trainers can learn the best counters and weaknesses for this boss. The Goomy Community Day in June 2024 is hosting 4-star raid battles featuring Sliggoo. These raids will only start once the three-hour-long main event concludes. You can dive in from 5 pm to 10 pm local time. Since this is the Soft Tissue critter's debut as a 4-star raid boss, many may not know how to defeat it.

You may also want to learn if Sliggoo in Pokemon GO can be defeated solo or with a team. To that end, here’s the guide featuring the best counters and type weaknesses of this Dragon-type critter.

Note: Trainers should use raid passes or Premium raid passes to join Pokemon GO SliggOo 4-star raids.

Sliggoo is a single Dragon-type entity from the Kalos region with the potential to evolve into Goodra in Pokemon GO. To succeed in this 4-star raid, you should know the weakness of this Pokemon.

However, note that the creature is resistant to some moves. The Combat Power (CP) of a critter inside and outside of raids is completely different. Those who appear as a raid boss will have a higher CP. In fact, the higher the tier of the raid, the higher the CP.

In this raid, Sliggoo will have a Combat Power of 22402. Notably, its max CP is 2303. The Dragon has an Attack stat of 159 and a Defense stat of 176. Couple that with a Hit Point (HP) of 9000 and the raid Pocket Monster has amazing endurance.

Remember, the HP of a 4-star boss is equal to that of bosses from 5-star, Legendary, and Mega raids. This means you must have powerful counters to complete Pokemon GO Sliggoo raids. Trainers who are curious about whether they can defeat the Soft Tissue Pokemon solo can go for that. It is possible to secure wins without a team.

Weaknesses and resistances of Pokemon GO Sliggoo

In the Pokemon GO Sliggoo raids, the Pokemon is weak to Dragon, Fairy, and Ice-type moves. By equipping them, trainers can inflict significant damage on the boss.

The total damage output can also be increased by selecting Pokemon with the same type as Sliggoo's type weakness. This activates the passive effect called STAB, increasing the damage output of attacks by 1.2X.

It would be ideal not to use moves that Sliggoo can resist, which are Electric, Fire, Grass, and Water types. They cannot turn on the STAB effect, and their damage output is not enough to conquer Pokemon GO Sliggoo raids within 180 seconds.
