Pokémon GO: Ludicolo Raid Battle Guide (Best Counters & Weaknesses)

screenrant.com:

Ludicolo is a Water and Grass-type Pokémon that appears as a 3-star Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. Serving as the final evolution form of Lotad and Lombre, Ludicolo is a tanky opponent typically equipped with Bubble as a Water-type Fast Move and Solar Beam as its Grass-type Charged Move. While Bubble isn't too much of a threat, Solar Beam's high DPS can be devasting to a Trainer's Raid party if they didn't prepare with the proper counters in Pokémon GO.

As a Water- and Grass-type Pokémon, Ludicolo is highly resistant to Water-type Moves and possesses solid protection against Ground- and Steel-type abilities. On the other hand, this Pokémon's attributes make it significantly vulnerable to Flying-, Poison-, and Bug-type attacks. Accordingly, Trainers will want to gather a party with Ludicolo's three elemental weaknesses in mind. Additionally, before entering any Raid Battle in Pokémon GO, players are advised to ensure all of their party members have full HP prior to the fight. Furthermore, be sure to select the Revive item to see if any potential counters are in the «fainted» category of the player's Pokédex.
