In these battles, your main objective will be to damage the Raid Boss, so you should increase your attacking power as much as possible. Make sure to match the Type of Pokemon so that you can inflict the most damage, and avoid using ones that the opponent is immune towards.
Selecting the right Pokemon is important, but so is choosing proper Damage Boosting Items to equip. You can easily boost the offense of your Pokemon by equipping them with items such as the Choice Band and Choice Specs. You can also enlist the help of your friends by recruiting them as teammates, which is far more powerful than having NPCs on your team.
