Tier 3 Batle Raid bosses aren’t as difficult as Legendary Mega Raids inPokemon GO, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of strategy that goes into them. Trainers who take the time to prepare early can ensure that they deal maximum damage during the battle and earnsome extra Premier Ballsfor the encounter reward. They can also even solo some of the tier 3 bosses if they’re experiences enough and have the optimal counters and strong conditions.
In order to properly prepare for any Battle Raid boss inPokemon GO, trainers need to take the time to learn about the boss' weaknesses. In the case of a dual Dragon-/Fairy-type like Salamence, that’s going to mean studying up on all of the best Ice-, Dragon-, Flying-, andRock-type move setsthat are available in the game.

Salamence has four different weaknesses, which gives players a lot of options when it comes to forming their counter roster, but to get the best results they’ll want to lean heavily on thatdouble weakness to Ice-types. If players are planning to attempt a solo or very small group battle, they’ll want to take the time to spend some Stardust, Candy, and Elite TMs before heading into the big fight.
Salamence Weaknesses
This tier 3 Battle Raid boss is a Dragon- and Flying-type, which means thatSalamence is 2x weak to Ice-type and also weak to Dragon-, Fairy-, and Rock-type moves.
Best Salamence Counters
That should be everything trainers need to know before they head into the tier three battle against Salamence. Be sure to stick to the recommended counter types and enter the battle with enough allies around to help out. High level players with the best counters can technically solo this tier three raid boss, but players who want to play it safe shouldenter the fight with one to three friendsinstead to secure a successful battle.
