·Multi-source verified (89/89)

Raihan uses a diverse team that leverages weather, but his ace is Dragon-type. His team includes a Level 46 Gigalith, a Level 46 Flygon, a Level 47 Sandaconda, and a Level 48 Duraludon (Dynamax). This is a double battle! Ice and Fairy-type moves are your best bet. A strong Fairy-type like Sylveon or Hatterene will be invaluable. An Ice-type like Weavile or a powerful Dragon-type of your own can also work. Focus on taking down threats quickly and managing the weather effects he sets up. Duraludon is Steel/Dragon, making it weak to Fighting and Ground.
