Pokemon GO Ferrothorn raid guide
will help you deal with this raid boss in the game. Ferrothorn is a tier-3 raid boss with a grass and steel typing, making it vulnerable to fire and fighting-type attacks. While it can be soloed, newer trainers or those lacking optimal counters may want to team up for a smoother victory. Below is a detailed Pokemon GO Ferrothorn raid guide covering its weaknesses, best counters, and catch CP ranges.
Pokemon GO Ferrothorn raid guide: Best counters
Fire-type attackers dominate the list of best counters due to Ferrothorn's double weakness to fire. Fighting-types also perform well but are less efficient. The top raid counters are based on DPS (damage per second) and TDO (total damage output) using level 40 Pokémon with perfect IVs.
