Even though one can win Swak raids in Pokemon GO without a team, you should use effective counters. Actually, super-effective Pokemon against Sawk is crucial to conquer this raid. It is a region-exclusive entity and a single Fighting-type critter.

By exploiting Swak's type weaknesses, solo players can defeat it in the game. The raid monster is vulnerable to Fairy, Flying, and Psychic-type attacks. Thus, these moves make your Sawk raid counters solid and reliable.

Outside of the raid battle, Sawk has a max CP of 3152, an attack stat of 231, a Defense stat of 153, and a Stamina stat of 153. However, its raid CP will be much higher, and its stamina will increase to greater numbers. Thus, solo Pokemon GO trainers should always focus on using high-level Pokemon and their best moves.

Even when faced with counters, Sawk demonstrates resilience. It will fight back with the following Fast and Charged Moves:

• Fast Attacks: Low Kick and Poison Jab
• Charge Attacks: Brick Break, Low Sweep, Body Slam, and Focus Blast

The 3-star raid monster will use these moves to damage your raid party. Thus, you should dodge them and stick to the battle plan of conquering Saw raids.
