Granbull’s weaknesses and counters in Pokemon GO

- Dialga using Metal Claw or Iron Head
- Sludge Bomb is used by Mega Gengar
- Metagross using Bullet Punch or Meteor Mash
- Mega Beedrill using Poison

The most effective alternatives are Poison and Steel, which provide a combined total of 160% damage compared to the meager 39% of damage dealt by dragon-type strikes.
What combat techniques can Granbull apply?
It can sometimes be worthwhile to take into what your opponent may use to strike you. This makes it easier to prepare for battle and choose the best Pokemon to take advantage of any weaknesses Granbull might have while avoiding strengths.
Granbull has a total of six attacks that can be used, equally distributed between fast and charged types. At least one of them should be a major concern if you want to use Steel-Type Pokemon to combat Granbull and take advantage of one of its limited potential vulnerabilities.
Fast Attacks
- Charm (Fairy)
- Bite (Dark)
- Snarl (Dark)
Charged Attacks
- Crunch (Dark)
- Close Combat (Fighting)
- Play Rough (Fairy)

Additional advice for encountering Granbull in Pokemon GO
Granbull benefits from the overcast conditions. Avoid the encounter when it’s foggy if a trainer isn’t sure how they’ll do in a raid against it.
A Dragon-type Pokemon is a great alternative if entering a raid with a steel or poison Pokemon is not possible in Pokemon GO. Even if the Pokemon may not have the strongest attack, it will be able to survive the harm Granbull deals because dragon Pokemon are immune to fairy types.
