Best counters and strategies to solo defeat Passimian in Pokemon GO 3-star Max Battles

There are two optimal strategies to follow when trying to solo defeat Passimian in Pokemon GO. They are:

1) Gengar tank + Metagross attacker

For this strategy, utilize the triple Fighting-type resist on Gengar to absorb Passimian's attack and deal neutral damage with Shadow Claw + Shadow Ball. When the Dynamax Phase comes, bring out Metagross and use three Max Mindstorms. Repeat this process until the Power Spot boss faints.

This strategy can be accomplished using a powered-up STAB Max Airstream user as well. For information on some of the best contenders for this role, check out the next section.

2) Full Flying team

For this strategy, you must utilize your bulkiest Flying-type creature as your tank. Have two of these on your team. For the attacker, use the one with the highest stat and level in your collection.

Switch between your tanks and attacker as the battle wears on. You are likely to require two tanks for this strategy. Considering everything, here are the best Flying-type attackers to solo defeat Passimian in Pokemon GO:

• Dynamax Moltres with Wing Attack (Max Airstream) and Sky Attack
• Dynamax Charizard with Air Slash/Wing Attack (Max Airstream) and Blast Burn
• Dynamax Unfeazant with Air Slash (Max Airstream) and Sky Attack

Both these teams need you to face a Passimian that knows only Fighting-type moves. If it has Brutal Swing as either of its attacks, quit the battle and rejoin to reroll the moves.

Additionally, your attackers and tanks should be level 30+ to be on the safe side. Although the 400 MP entry cost is refunded if you are unable to solo defeat Passimian in Pokemon GO, you still end up wasting time.
