Frillish, a Water- and Ghost-type pocket monster from Unova, is one of the Tier-1 Raid Bosses featured in November 2022 of Pokémon GO. Similar to the Normal- and Fire-type Litleo, this dainty jellyfish monster from Generation V has two variations, depending on if it is male or female. Males are characterized by light blue skin, while females are pastel pink. Not only are their evolutions into Jellicent distinctly different in appearance, but they both possess their own Shiny versions as well.

To defeat Frillish in a Pokémon GO Raid, Trainers will need to understand the Raid Boss's stats, resistances, and weaknesses. As a Water- and Ghost-type pocket monster, Frillish is resistant to many elements, including Poison-, Bug-, Steel-, Fire-, Water-, Ice-, Normal-, and Fighting-type Movesets. Conversely, players can effectively damage this Raid Boss by using combatants with Ghost-, Grass-, Electric-, and Dark-type Moves. Frillish is a One-Star Raid Boss with a mid-range CP of 3,886. As a result, Megas, Shadow variants, and Legendaries will not be necessary for the Raid, but lower-level Trainers should still consider assembling a Raid party with countering Movesets.
