The current 3 Alolan raid bosses, Exeggutor, Raichu, & Marowak, are proving to be quite elusive. Nevertheless, Pokémon Go players worldwide are determined to add them to their Pokédex.
When you’re able to find one of these rare raids, the last thing you want is to miss out on a defeat and capture due to a lack of Trainers around to help. In order to prevent that from happening, here’s a list of the fighters and movesets you’ll need for a successful takedown of each raid boss, using only 1-3 people.
Alolan Exeggutor
The Alolan Exeggutor is a Tier 2 raid boss and easily taken down by 1 Trainer. Here’s who you’ll need for the fight.
If the game suggests a raid party with Ice attackers, you’ll want to use:
– Articuno with Frost Breath/Ice Beam
– Jynx with Frost Breath/Avalanche
– Regice with Frost Breath/Ice Beam
If the game suggests Dragon type attackers, use:
– Rayquaza with Dragon Tail/Outrage
– Salamence with Dragon Tail/Draco Meteor
– Dragonite with Dragon Tail/Outrage
If the raid party the game throws together consists of other type Pokémon that aren’t Ice or Dragon type, then you can just go with what it gives you.

Alolan Raichu
The Alolan Raichu is a Tier 3 raid boss and a tough one at that. He can be solo’d if you power up the right Pokémon, but if you happen to have a friend/family member playing with you, the best scenario is for 2 Trainers to take him on together. Here’s the team you’ll want to use.
