Basic Strategy for Max Battles
1. Formulate a Team with Role Separation
Tank (e.g., Zacian, Zamazenta, Blissey): At the beginning of the battle, the Tank continuously uses Fast Attacks to quickly fill the Max Meter while conserving Charge Moves.
Attacker (e.g., Gigantamax Gengar, Inteleon): Once the meter is full, switch to a high-damage Attacker, activate Dynamax, and deal massive damage to the boss.
2. Exploit the Boss’s Weaknesses
Gigantamax Bosses in high-difficulty battles (⋆6) are extremely powerful. You must include an Attacker whose type is super effective against the boss’s weaknesses.
3. Utilize Max Moves Effectively
Unlocking and powering up utility Max Moves like Dynamax Wall (damage reduction) and Dynamax Recovery(HP restoration) will significantly increase your stability in battles.
