Vikavolt is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon Go. It is a beetle-like Pokémon which has a large pair of mandibles. Its face is small which is orange in color and has robotic, yellow eyes. The mandibles have a large spike and the inside is lined with short spikes. It is a decent opponent whom you can defeat with not much of a problem if you are using the right counters. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters using which you will be able to defeat Vikavolt in the best way possible.
Vikavolt in Pokémon Go
Vikavolt is a dual-type Bug and Electric Pokémon with a maximum CP of 3524 at level 50. It is weak towards Fire and Rock type attacks. If you are a high-level player with the right set of counters, you will be able to fight against Vikavolt all by yourself but if you are a low-level player, I’ll recommend you to go in groups of at least two to three players to secure your victory.
Vikavolt Moveset
The best moves from the movepool of Vikavolt are Bug Bite and Discharge. Both of them have a combined DPS of 43.2 and it is also the best combination of moves that can be used in both Pokémon Gyms and PvP battles. Other good options that I’ve found to be useful from the moveset of Vikavolt are Spark, Mud-Slap, Volt Switch, X-Scissor, and so on.
