Grotle is a Grass-type tier-three raid boss in Pokémon GO that has several vulnerabilities to exploit, so players can easily defeat and capture it.
Grotle can be battled in Pokémon GO as a tier-three raid boss, and players have a chance to catch this Pokémon after defeating it. There’s also a small possibility that a Shiny Grotle will be found after beating Grotle as a raid boss, so players should complete multiple battles. Winning more raids against Grotle will also help players earn enough candy to evolve it into Torterra.
With a strong team, it’s possible to beat Grotle alone, but it’s much easier to win the battle if other trainers are invited to the raid. Only friends can be invited to raids in Pokémon GO, so any players that want to join need to be added as a friend first. Up to five additional trainers can be invited by a player after starting the raid battle. Each player can use super-effective moves to quickly defeat Grotle.
Grotle is a Grass-type Pokémon that evolves from Turtwig and also evolves in Torterra. Once players defeat and catch a Grotle from a raid encounter, they will need 100 candies in order to evolve it into Torterra. Additional candies can be earned while catching Grotle if a Pinap or Silver Pinap Berry is used. Candies can also be earned by catching or transfering any Pokémon in the Turtwig evolution line.
How To Defeat & Catch Grotle in Pokémon GO
Since Grotle is a Grass-type Pokémon, it is weak against Flying-, Poison-, Bug-, Fire-, and Ice-type moves. Although Grotle has several vulnerabilities, many of the best Pokémon to counter it use Fire-type attacks. Players should assure their Pokémon have the best moveset in Pokémon GO in order to deal the most damage and earn the maximum number of Premier Balls used to catch Grotle. Moves can be changed if necessary using Fast TMs and Charged TMs.
