Pokemon Go Gigantamax Toxtricity Max Battle Guide: Weaknesses & best counters

As a seasoned Pokemon Go player with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the introduction of Gigantamax Toxtricity has sent shivers down my spine! With its impressive size and formidable stats, this Electric/Poison type is not for the faint-hearted.


As a dedicated Pokémon Go enthusiast, I’m constantly thrilled by the introduction of new Dynamax and Gigantamax forms. Recently, during the Go Wild Area event, the mighty Gigantamax Toxtricity made its grand entrance, sending ripples of excitement among the community!

Instead of Dynamax Pokemon, Gigantamax creatures prove extremely challenging to defeat, given that they reign supreme in the newly introduced 6-Star Max Battles, where coordination among 10 to 40 trainers is essential.

If you’re looking to take down Gigantamax Toxtricity to get both Amped and Low Key forms in the game, here are the best Dynamax and Gigantamax counters you can use to exploit its weaknesses.

When building your team, focus on Pokemons that excel in Ground and Psychic attacks since Gigantamax Toxtricity, being a dual Electric/Poison type, is only vulnerable to these two types of moves.

Regrettably for the players, this formidable beast possesses numerous resistances such as Fighting, Flying, Poison, Bug, Steel, Grass, Electric, and Fairy types, making it difficult to defeat in battles.

In Max Battles, since only Dynamax and other Gigantamax Pokemon are allowed, the range of options for players to choose from will be more limited.

These are some of the best counters to take down Gigantamax Toxtricity in the game:

Since the Dynamax and Gigantamax mechanics are quite new, there aren’t many Pokémon available for selection yet.

The absolute best choices are Dynamax Excadrill and Dynamax Metagross. However, those who don’t have either can go with the rest of the selection and try to challenge Gigantamax Toxtricity with a bigger group of trainers.

As the pool of available Dynamax or G-Max Pokemon increases, our recommendations will change.

Instead of regular Raids, Max Battles exclusively occur face-to-face, so Remote Raid Passes are not applicable. Unlike typical Gyms where they usually appear, Gigantamax and Dynamax battles take place only at designated Power Spots.

In order to join a Gigantamax battle, you’ll need to spend 800 Max Particles. These can be obtained by visiting Power Spots. It’s important to remember that if you don’t manage to defeat G-Max Toxtricity, the Max Particles will be refunded back to you.

Since the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Pokemon is quite rare, players will need to battle numerous G-Max Toxtricity to increase their chances significantly. Unlike its typical deep purple appearance, the Shiny Gigantamax Toxtricity stands out with its light burgundy body instead.
