While it is recommended that you battle this raid boss in a group of two to five high-level trainers, you can defeat it by yourself if you have powerful Entei counters in your raid roster.

If you live in a rural area, you might have a lot of people who play this game. In such scenarios, if you have critters above level 40 that counter Entei, you might be able to defeat Entei in 5-star raids. It will be a tight squeeze, but if you play your cards well, you should succeed.
