Best counters and strategy to solo defeat Chansey in Pokemon GO 3-star Max Battles

To win Chansey Max Battles on your own, we recommend using a Steel-type tank — such as Metagross or Excadrill — and a Fighting-type attacker — such as Machamp or Falinks. The reason behind this strategy is that Steel-type creatures resist all of Chansey's attack options, while Fighting-types deal maximum super-effective damage.

A look at Dynamax Chansey's attributes will help you understand this better:

• Attack: 60
• Defense: 128
• Moveset: Hyper Beam, Dazzling Gleam, Psychic

Use the following creatures as a tank for the best results against Chansey:

• Metagross with Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash (Level 20+)
• Excadrill with Metal Claw and Scorching Sands (Level 30+)

These Pokemon have the best chance of soaking the incoming damage while dealing decent chip damage to Chansey with their regular Fast and Charged Moves.

As the attacker, utilize the following creatures:

• Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch
• Falinks with Counter and Superpower

When attempting to solo defeat Chansey in Pokemon GO, use the Steel-types as the damage soaker. Have two such creatures on your team for safety. The third slot will be filled by the Fighting-type attacker; switch to it during the Dynamax Phase to deal super-effective damage with Max Knuckle.

Notably, you don't need Max Mushrooms or a weather boost to be successful in this endeavor. This is also not the only combination of creatures that can achieve this feat. As long as you use a Steel-type tank, any Dynamax or Gigantamax form with high Attack will deal sufficient damage during the Dynamax Phase and can help you solo defeat Chansey in Pokemon GO 3-star raids.
