Pokemon GO’s Bug Out event is live, and it brings with it a new lineup of raid bosses. One of the most interestingBug Out raid bossesis Ninjask, a relatively rare bug-type Pokemon that appears in tier-4 raids. When it comes to tier-4 raids, high levelPokemon GOplayers usually need at least one or two other people if they hope to win, but as it turns out, it’s possible to defeat Ninjask solo with the right team and moves.

The best chancePokemon GOplayers will have at defeating Ninjask solo in raids is if their Pokemon are weather-boosted. However, it’s still possible to beat a Ninjask raid solo with no weather boost if players have powered-up the right Pokemon. The absolute best Pokemon for the job is Rampardos with Smack Down and Rock Slide, so ideally aPokemon GOplayer who wants to beat a Ninjask raid solo will have a full team of properly-equipped Rampardos.

However, Rampardos was added toPokemon GOfairly recently, and so it’s unlikely that manyPokemon GOplayers will have a full, powered-up team of Rampardos available. Luckily there are some other Pokemon that serve as great counters forNinjaskwho will go a long way in helpingPokemon GOplayers beat the Ninjask raid solo.

IfPokemon GOplayers are having a hard time putting together a team of the above Pokemon, then there are some other choices that, while not quite as effective, can still help them beat the Ninjask raid solo.

Using a combination of the above Pokemon,Pokemon GOplayers that are high enough level should be able to solo Ninjask raids and add the rare bug-type Pokemon to their collection. Ninjask is likely to leavePokemon GOraids once theBug Out eventis over, though, so anyone interested should act fast.
