Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Ground-type Max Battle attacker in Pokémon GO?
The best Ground-type Max Battle attacker in Pokémon GO is Excadrill, dealing about 528 damage with a Ground-type Max Move.
What are Max Battles in Pokémon GO?
Max Battles are co-op battles at Power Spots where your Pokémon Dynamax or Gigantamax for a few turns and unleash Max Moves. Only Pokémon that have unlocked a Dynamax or Gigantamax form can take part.
Can Mega or Shadow Pokémon be used in Max Battles?
No. A Pokémon cannot Dynamax while Mega Evolved or Primal Reverted, and Shadow Pokémon cannot Dynamax at all. Only Pokémon with a Dynamax or Gigantamax form qualify, so no Mega, Primal, or Shadow Pokémon appear in these rankings.
What boosts Max Move damage?
Several bonuses stack: a Power Spot bonus of up to +20% with more trainers nearby, a Max Mushroom that doubles Max Move damage (×2), and a Weather Boost when the weather matches the Max Move type. Raising your attacker level and Max Move level also increases the damage.
What is the difference between Dynamax and Gigantamax attackers?
A Dynamax Pokémon's Max Move matches its fast move type, so its best matchup depends on its moveset. A Gigantamax Pokémon uses a fixed signature G-Max Move with higher Max Move power, which is why Gigantamax forms often top these rankings.
