Squirtle is a pure Water type 1* Raid Boss. Optimal raid counters include Electric and Grass types. Squirtle evolves into the powerful Blastoise and then into Mega Blastoise. Mega Blastoise is one of the best Water type Megas for Raids.
It is an easy solo.
Squirtle Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
