Quick Links
One of the raids that players can encounter this month in Pokémon GO raids like Yveltal, which require more players.
Slowpoke is a Water-/Psychic-type, which means its elemental weaknesses are Bug-, Ghost-, Grass-, Electric-, and Dark-type Pokémon. Players can use Pokémon with any of these types of attacks to be effective against Slowpoke in Pokémon GO, but some will fare far better than others.
According to Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses in Pokémon GO can certainly help tackle Slowpoke's raid.

This chart may appear confusing because the best Pokémon of every type don't always match the best counters. For example, Luxray is an Electric-type, yet it is listed as one of the best Dark-type counters. That is because of its fast move; Snarl is a dark-type attack, which Slowpoke is weak to in Pokémon GO.
