Clodsire is a tanky Pokemon capable of taking hits from raid bosses. Its immunity to Poison-type moves protects it from being poisoned.
Earthquake allows it to deal damage which can be improved once it Terastallizes into a Ground-type, while it can use its other moves to debilitate the opposing raid Pokemon or recover its own health.

Some of the more powerful Poison-type moves are physical and special moves, and can be used by several non-Poison-type Pokemon.
Combined with the raid boss having a Poison Tera Type, the damage output of these moves can deal some numbers if left unchecked. Try lowering the raid Pokemon's Attack or Special Attack stat to weaken these attacks.
