What is super-effective against Dynamax Krabby?

Krabby is a mono-Water-type creature, which means it takes super-effective damage from Grass- and Electric-type attacks. Ideally, use creatures that know both Fast and Charged Moves of these types. If you don't have Dynamax Attackers with Grass or Electric Charged Moves, choose ones with Fast Moves of these types as they will turn into Max Moves, which deal the majority of the damage anyway.

Here are the Max Moves that are super-effective against Dynamax Krabby:

• Max Overgrowth
• Max Lightning
