In Pokémon GO there is currently Ninjask as a 4-star raid. This raid boss can even be defeated alone. Here’s how it works.
This is Ninjask: The Pokémon comes along with many other bugs as new raid bosses in the game. Normally, you cannot defeat 4-star raids alone. You need at least 2 players. However, Ninjask is the exception, as this bug Pokémon has very weak stats, making it easy to defeat alone.
We will show you how you can defeat the raid boss without assistance and which Pokémon are effective.
This is how you can easily defeat Ninjask solo
What counters do I need? Ninjask is a Bug and Flying type. The effective types are Rock, Electric, Fire, Ice, and Flying. Rock is the best type, as Ninjask has a double weakness to it.
What level do you need to be? To defeat Ninjask alone, you need to be at least level 35, if not higher. Your counters must definitely be at this level.
With these Pokémon, you can defeat it solo: Ninjask can only be defeated solo by Rock Pokémon. Suitable Pokémon include:
- Rhydon with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge (at level 35)
- Tyranitar with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge (at level 40)

In partly cloudy weather, you can use additional Rock Pokémon. These include:
- Rhyperior with Rock Wrecker and Stone Edge
- Ampharos with Rock Throw and Rock Slide
- Geodude with Rock Throw and Stone Edge
Here’s how: We have embedded a YouTube video here that shows how to defeat Ninjask alone. If you have the right counters, you can defeat the bug Pokémon with enough remaining time.
How long does Ninjask stay in raids? You need to hurry if you want to challenge the bug Pokémon in raids. Ninjask will be in raids until April 9th. After that, the old raid bosses will return.
Ninjask came into the game along with the bug event. You can find all information about this event here:
