Pokemon GO raids feature a monster while increasing its power level significantly, and Wyrdeer is coming as a 3-star raid boss in the game. The Winter Wonderland 2023 event marks the debut of the Normal and Psychic-type Pokemon Wydeer and its Shiny variant. It is a rare occasion that a monster and its Shiny variant are debuting together since Niantic usually releases Shiny monsters at a later date or event.
Pokemon GO players can get Wyrdeer from the start of the Winter Wonderland 2023 event on Saturday, December 23, at 10 AM Local Time. Even after the event ends, the monster will continue to come as a 3-star raid boss in rotations. Although Wyrdeer isn’t a powerhouse, the beast has notable stats and gets a significant power boost as a raid boss. Consider the monster’s weaknesses and resistance to win the Wyrdeer raids.

Although Wyrdeer comes as a powerful raid boss, Pokemon GO trainers can explore its weaknesses and resistance to prepare a battle roster against it. Consider its weaknesses and avoid the monster's resistance while selecting the raid counters.
Having counters with the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) potential moves can be a game changer. When a Pokemon’s innate typing and move typing are identical, using that specific move can inflict bonus damage.
