Pokemon GO is about to host another Frogadier Raid Battle event as the community day for Froakie comes in this week, August 13, 2023. However, even after the raid ends, Trainers should still know the weakness and best attacks and the best Pokemon to put up against Frogadier when in a Raid Battle.
Players will want to gear up so that they can get the best results out of the Pokemon GO Froakie Community Day event as the Pokemon's Raid Battles start popping up in the wild. This guide will be going over the best counters, the weaknesses, and if Frogadier has a Shiny that players can catch.
Frogadier Raid Boss Counters & Weaknesses
Frogadier actually isn't that strong of a Raid Boss, which is a positive for some higher-level players because that means they can tackle the Pokemon by themselves. However, when it comes to trainers who have a bit less experience and lower levels, they will need to get a few other trainers to join them. Players will want to also take a look at the stats of new Pokemon to see if they will be a good match.
Given that Frogadier's design is based on a frog, it is a given that it is a Water-type, meaning it is weak against Grass and Electic-type Pokemon. Below is the list of the strongest Pokemon that players can use against Frogadier to beat them.
- Kartana
- Xurkitree
- Zekrom
- Thundurus (Therian)
- Deoxys (Attack Forme)
Does Frogadier Have A Shiny Variant?
Frogadier can be Shiny; however, trainers will need to catch a Shiny Froakie in order to evolve it to Frogadier and eventually its final evolution, which is Greninja. The Shiny version of Froakie will spawn in the wild, not requiring any more work from the Trainer outside of trying to hunt for one with incense and clicking on each Froakie they see. Players will have the chance to evolve their Shiny Froakie into both its second and eventually third evolutions.
Best Moveset for Frogadier
While some might already know the best moveset for Froakie, it will be good to also know the best move set for Frogadier if a player catches one and wants to be powerful using it. There are two moves that are best to be used for Frogadier in Pokemon GO Gyms, and those are Bubble and Surf. This combination has a pretty high DPS and will do well for PVP battles as well.
