To help you emerge victorious, here are some general tips for tackling Gigantamax Max Battles, along with specific strategies for taking down Gigantamax Lapras:
General Gigantamax Battle Strategies
Gigantamax battles require more strategy than your typical raid.Brush up on your battle tactics before jumping in. Remember, teamwork is key! Coordinate with your fellow trainers to maximize your chances of success.
Exploiting Gigantamax Lapras’ Weaknesses
To bring down this icy behemoth, focus on its weaknesses: fighting, rock, grass, and electric-type moves.
“We’ll want to utilize Gigantamax Lapras’ weaknesses: fighting-, rock-, grass-, and electric-type moves. There aren’t too many Pokémon that can utilize these move types, though,” advises the guide.
Top Counters for Gigantamax Lapras
While pokémon with these move types are ideal, be mindful of Lapras’ potential moveset. If it packs Blizzard or Ice Beam, your Venusaur might not fare well.
To bolster your team’s defenses, consider bringing Pokémon with Max Guard. This move will help you build shields quickly and resist most of Lapras’ attacks.
Good luck, trainers! May your Poké Balls be ever in your favor.
finding reliable healers in Pokémon battles can be a challenge, especially when strategies like Max Spirit favor Pokémon with high HP. while options are limited, trainers can utilize Pokémon like Greedent, known for its remarkable HP pool, as a temporary solution.
“There still aren’t too many ideal Pokémon to use as healers, since Max spirit wants you to use high-HP Pokémon. you can use Greedent in the meantime, which has a ton of HP.”
Even without fully powered-up pokémon, trainers should prioritize bringing their strongest Dynamax contenders. For example, if a trainer has a maxed-out Dynamax Gengar but an under-leveled Dynamax Venusaur, the Gengar should be the go-to choice.
“Even if you don’t have these powered up, consider just bringing the strongest Dynamax Pokémon you have. If you have a maxed out Dynamax Gengar and your Dynamax venusaur isn’t leveled (and you don’t have the means to power it up), just bring your Gengar. We’re still working with scraps here, people.”
In the ever-evolving world of Pokémon battles, trainers must adapt and make the most of their available resources.
