Ludicolo is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon Go. It looks like a hybrid between a duck and a pineapple while also wearing a green lily pad on its head. The Pokémon is known to be short in stature while also having a yellow fuzzy ovoid body along with brown zig-zags all over it. As it is a Tier 3 Raid, fighting against it won’t be much of an issue as long as you are using the right counters against it. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters that you can use to have the best chances of winning against Ludicolo.
Ludicolo in Pokémon Go
Ludicolo is a dual Water and Grass-type Pokémon with a maximum CP of 2626 at level 50. It is vulnerable to Bug, Flying, and Poison-type attacks. If you are a high-level player with the right counters, you will be able to fight against Ludicolo all by yourself. But if you are a low-level player or don’t have the ideal counters, I’ll recommend you not go into the battle alone and take a friend or two along with yourself.
Ludicolo Moveset
The best moves from the movepool of Ludicolo include Bubble and Solar Beam. Both of them have a combined DPS of 56.1 and it is also the best combination of moves that you can use in both Pokémon Gyms and PvP battles. Other attacks that I’ve found pretty useful from the moveset of Ludicolo include Razor Leaf, Hydro Pump, Leaf Storm, and Blizzard amongst other good options.
