How to Beat Level 5 Raids in Pokemon GO
Use Type advantage! Find out the raid boss’s type and load up on Pokemon that have strong moves against it. For example, if you're fighting a Dragon type, Fairy, Ice, or Dragon type moves work great.

Prep your Pokemon! Before diving in, make sure your Pokemon are powered up and have the best movesets. You can use TMs to change moves if needed.
Hot take: Sometimes you need luck! RNG can mess with you, so don’t be afraid to try again.
Use remote raid passes if you can't be there in person. You can join raids from anywhere if you have the pass.
Get a team together! You usually need at least 5-7 players to take down a Level 5 raid boss. Make sure to coordinate with your local Pokemon GO community.
