Overview

Piloswine is one of the easiest tier 3 raid bosses to date. It has one of the lowest defense stats in the tier and 5 exploitable weaknesses. Many fresh caught legendary Pokemon are capable of soloing Piloswine. It's also a priority target, as it evolves into the outstanding Ice Type attacker, Mamoswine.

Numerous options are available to the level 20 player, both legendary and non-legendary. Once you’re at level 25, just about any half decent Water, Fire, Grass, Fighting, or Steel attacker will do the trick.

Approach

Dodging strategy

At low levels, must dodge charge moves to avoid being wiped out

Counters

Note: "Good" movesets are not necessarily viable at the level indicated.
