One of the Pokemon that is now a part of three-star raids is Galvantula. Here is all you need to know about Galvantula, its weaknesses, counters, and the complete raid guide for it.
EVERY Galvantula WEAKNESS IN POKEMON GO
Galvantula is a Bug and Electric-type Pokemon, so that means it is not quite weak to a large number of types while being resistant to many at the same time.
While Fire and Rock-type attacks deal 160% damage, Steel, Fighting, Grass, and Electric-type deal merely 63% damage. You can find the various counters for Galvantula below.
BEST Galvantula COUNTERS
Considering the fact that it is resistant to a wide range of types, Galvantula can be quite a tricky Pokemon to defeat. Your best bet is to capitalize as much as you can on the Grass and Rock-type weakness.
When it comes to Mega Evolutions, you will need to rely solely on the two Charizard evolutions, that is, Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y to gain an upper hand over Galvantula.
As far as other Pokemon are concerned, you do have a few great choices here, such as Reshiram, Chandelure, Darmanitan, Heatran, Moltres, Entei, Rhyperior, and Blaziken among others. You can find the movesets and the various Pokemon below.
