Although Eevee’s evolutions usually get more attention when they show up in Tier 3 Battle Raids, it’s always worth taking note of a Tier 1 Eevee appearance as well.Pokemon GO’slowest tier of Battle Raid is easy to overlook, but it actually is a great chance for players to solo a Battle Raid even if they are a lower level trainer. This makes them a great mark for quick rewards and task completions. Trainers who want to optimize their performance can still take some steps to create a sound strategy andensure maximum damage.
Players need to understand eachPokemon GOBattle Raid boss' weaknesses and assemble a strategic counter roster to successfully solo these challengers. EachPokemon has its own strengths and weaknessesand part of preparing for an effective Battle Raid means studying those weaknesses and forming a respectable counter roster. If trainers plan to head out and battle Pikachu in tier one Battle Raids, they’ll have one key weakness to build their counter roster around.

Eevee’s pure Normal-type trait gives players a single weakness to concentrate on - strong Fighting-types - and just resistances to keep in mind, as well. Although tier 1 Battle Raids obviously aren’t as challenging as Legendary and Mega showdowns, trainers may still want to take the time to spend someStardust, Candy, and Elite TMsto get everything in order before the fight.
Eevee Weaknesses
This tier 3 Battle Raid boss is a pure Normal-type, which means thatEevee is weak against Fighting-type moves.
Eevee Resistances (Avoid These!)
Eevee is resistant against Ghost-typeattacks. Players should avoid putting Pokemon reliant on those move types in their lineup.
Swampert (Mega) - Water Gun/Hydro Cannon
Lucario - Counter/Close Combat
Assembling a counter roster based on those suggestions should be all it takes to defeat Eevee in tier one Battle Raids. Be sure to stick to the recommended counter types and enter the battle with enough allies (for lower level players) around to help out and earn that one attempt victory. Mid- to high-level players with the best counters can solo this tier one raid boss, but lower level players who want to play it safe shouldenter the fight with one or two friendsinstead to secure a successful battle.
