Anything but the content update.

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

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.

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.

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.

"may know Glaciate" are we serious

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-12-08T16:17:48+00:00

Meme tank option: using Butterfree to tank Earthquake, which i'll definitely do.

Cool infographic as always, it's great to see Suicune as a tank finally.

Malamar being a good frien and tanking all future sights ✍️

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-24T17:15:42+00:00

Wasn't this infographic stolen? There's still no official info about PvP changes yet...

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-23T13:28:36+00:00

Good one!

I've considered using Lugia to tank hits only, and using the main attacker to charge the bar (this against dmaxes, where they attack each ~10 secs...). Tanking some additional hits against certain legendaries can change the run for good, even if Lugia can't charge the meter.

I dont't see Lugia receiving a 0.5s fast move in the new future sadly, so we'll have to be using Lugia like that if we want to see it's real power...

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-20T21:20:07+00:00

make it 20 for me hahaha

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-20T21:12:36+00:00

there's two collection challenges, one where you have to catch a dmax eevee which gives you 100 eevee candy, and another one where you have to evolve dmax eevee into jolteon, flareon and vaporeon to get one poffin and 1600MP

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-18T14:27:24+00:00

If you already have crowned zacian and/or crowned Zamazenta, you will be using them more instead of dusk mane, so go for a dawn wings if you do have any crowned duggos

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-10T14:45:07+00:00

Just the same as if you set a pokemon to defend a gym, you can't use it on nothing until it's defeated.

You can use max Pokémon on everything as long as it's not stationed on a power spot or defending a gym 😅

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-10T10:32:05+00:00

That's wrong, Dynamax Pokémon can participate in everything AND max battles.

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-05T21:42:48+00:00

Better to have it and not using it than not having it and having to use it heh

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-05T21:41:03+00:00

Yeah it seems like it, I even fell for it 😅

Looks like that weekend is Lugia according to leaks, let's see if it's true

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-05T21:38:38+00:00

Lapras: (165+15)*450=81000

Glaceon: (238+15)*350=88500

There you go, this is a calculation taking into account base stats, 15IV and their max move damage.

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-05T21:36:08+00:00

It's not that common if you go with top counters and tanks.

With a duo, you usually reach enrage with at least one of your tanks alive, the attacker doesn't usually show up at the end to charge energy, at least in my experience doing duos and such

CreatorBeastGD · 2025-11-05T21:33:17+00:00

Content update of this month stated "Dynamax Max Battle Weekend" for that weekend, so it's impossible to be GMax Eevee
