  • Gigantamax Venusaur
  • Gigantamax Gengar
  • Gigantamax Charizard
  • Excadrill

B-tier Pokemon offer situational utility and are useful for players starting out in Dynamax battles. While they may fill specific niches, they’re less likely to remain viable in the long term, so use them sparingly and avoid heavy resource investment.

  • Falinks

Dynamax battles in Pokemon GO are a thrilling way to test your skills, and choosing the right Pocket Monsters can make all the difference.

While S-tier Pokemon are your best bet for dominating battles, A-tier options are strong alternatives. B- and C-tier Pokemon should be chosen with caution, as they’re unlikely to have consistent damage output compared to others in higher tiers.

Keep an eye on future updates as the meta evolves, and good luck in your Dynamax battles.
