Best counters and strategy to solo defeat Floragato in Pokemon GO 3-star raids

To take down Floragato 3-star raids in Pokemon GO on your own, you should use creatures that deal super-effective damage and resist Floragato’s moves. This makes Fire-types and Poison-types the best options — especially if you have low-level (less than 30) counters.

Additionally, Mega Rayquaza and Mega Salamence, both Dragon- and Flying-types are well equipped to solo defeat Floragato in Pokemon GO 3-star raids easily if the creature doesn’t have Charm and Play Rough as its moveset.
