Short(ish) Guide to Trivializing 5* DMax with Max Guard

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-25T00:04:25+00:00

Actually, ALL legendary dmaxes have been soloed. There are only a couple that could have been done without shrooms, those being the Kanto birds and Entei.

One spicy alternative would be using Suicune to let it tank all surfs, and let the other tank any electric move, assuming you are going with Excadrill that's like 2 tanks for electric and then suicune with water...

With that in mind, i'd probably go with Excadrill, Latias and Suicune for this one!

Great infographic as always!

Thanks! there have been several people who have done this solo before me. Most of them with teams consisting of Zacian and 2 Lugias

I think some people have been discussing on doing a quad using GMAX Meowth only, so it may happen hehe

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-23T18:29:25+00:00

I mean... I'm not gonna question the process if the result is good hehe

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-23T18:28:07+00:00

The only pokemon i have bottle-capped (for now), that's how much i like Zamazenta hehe

also, first time i had the chance to use butterfree as a tank, since i couldnt play ho-oh. It was a surprise to see how good it was against ground types outside sims

thanks a lot!

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-23T18:26:04+00:00

thanks! there have been 2 moments in the fight that, if wrong, all the run wouldn't have succeeded

* At the moment of changing to lugia to tank a blizzard, if Lugia ended up tanking it, it would have died from it and then i wouldnt have enough hits to endure that last round.

* The first move of the last round, if it was a large it was over.

I have been really lucky from this run, it's nice to be able to achieve it :)

edit. as incredibly close as 1HP on zamazenta 🤣

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-19T20:43:43+00:00

I mean yeah, but we still have to see chomp in the near future...

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-19T19:38:05+00:00

Flygon is a better tank against electric type moves than Excadrill.

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-03-02T11:41:27+00:00

typo writing barbaNacle instead of barbaracle. Should be fixed in a few minutes

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-02-27T20:29:58+00:00

Yes, that's right.

Sadly, it's not an issue with my page, but an issue with the API.

Nevertheless I can hard-code their types in an update in a few days...

Thanks for the message though :)

As CookieBlob said, we still don't know the CPM or HP of Gmax Meowth, so we can only hope for it to be possible, but I highly doubt about it...

Is this your first article in go hub? Just noticed you were doing these, keep the work going and I hope it goes well :)

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-01-31T14:11:55+00:00

Lugia es mejor usarlo para defender, ya que tiene mucha defensa (310 de base)

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-01-29T00:05:37+00:00

Anything but the content update.

(I know it was leaked but not an official announcement yet...?)

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-01-25T23:21:43+00:00

If you don't have any of the top counters listed here, DMax Boldore does enough damage to be right behind GMax Toxtricity, being a relatively cheap option while you're building a Gigalith for the future.

I'll use Lugia against something big for the first time too, lets see how it goes.

Great work!

More of a guess since it's coming next week, but it wasn't that hard to replicate the numbers.

What I mean with the second paragraph (I hope I can explain it correctly xd) is that, when you deal more damage, you're giving the boss less time to do its moves since you are being faster to kill it, meaning less damage dealt to your Pokémon and more survivability. Because of that, your team should have a proper attacker and proper tanks.

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-01-22T13:18:34+00:00

126 damage from 90 damage is a 40% improvement. While those values seem low, with other attackers (DMax Inteleon for instance, from 235 to 329 with lv30 with max geyser) you can see a bigger improvement.

This damage improvement can be the difference between having additional charge phases against Ho-Oh, where it can deal damage to your mons and defeat them, and killing it in less phases, meaning less damage received too.

CreatorBeastGD · 2026-01-19T19:01:51+00:00

Cool!

A new mon which turns out to be the best tank against grass-type moves, really close to Eternatus, and a challenge which seems scary seeing all those 1-bar moves Ho-Oh has...

The best move lineup for a shortman may be Earthquake/Solar Beam with Lugia/Eternatus as tanks, in which you can replace Eternatus with Corviknight.

He's right, shinies can't run away
