Ludicolo is somewhat of a fan favourite Pokemon and it looks like the same can be said for those who have helped to create the series.

The sombrero-wearing creature made a comical cameo in the Detective Pikachu movie and is also set to appear in the Secrets of the Jungle motion picture.

As part of the promotion of Secrets of the Jungle, Ludicolo is making an appearance within Pokemon GO as a three-star raid boss.

So, for those looking to take it down, here's how to beat Ludicolo in Pokemon GO, with our full raid guide that includes its weaknesses and best counters.

Every Ludicolo Weakness in Pokemon GO

Ludicolo has an unusual type combination of Water and Grass, this means that many of these type's usual weaknesses are negated.

That said, Ludicolo does have three weaknesses in Pokemon GO that you should look to exploit. They are Bug, Flying and Poison-type moves. Just be sure to avoid Ground, Steel and especially Water-type moves as Ludicolo resists those.

On top of those, you have Genesect, Escavalier and Scizor which are all solid Bug-type options and Roserade, Toxicroak and Victreebell which can play the Poison-type role.
