Gigantamax Pokemon You *DON'T* Want 

That thing would be Absolute Thiccness.

Soon as it started to Gigantamax the trainer responsible is like .......what have I done......the world shall be no more lol

They also made it tiny as heck... GameFreak hates Wailord :c

The thing is a lot of Pokémon aren’t drawn to scale. When you use Eternanus in battle in looks a lot smaller than it’s supposed to be.

@@mastershockvalue6499 Yeah and the saddest part is that they're scaled in the overworld. Someone hacked Eternatus to appear in the wild area and it's huge, just like in the cutscene. So, obviously, the tech is there. GF just couldn't be bothered.

I still hunt gigantamax pokemon even though I have like 10 of each. Why? I don't know. Help me.

Unseen Asymptote hunting gmaxes is quite easy!! it took me abt 7 mins to get garbodor and like 20 to get alcremie

Maths

It's not even really a detail that matters since Coalossal is a pokemon that wants to be in the sun, not sandstorm. Sp def boosts are ok, but not exactly important.

Machamp gmax can be useful if you have a double battle if you have a special attacker

Thanks

I would have my coalossal know sandstorm and use that before i gmax, then use my gmax attack

The majority of pokemon players do not do competitive battling (at least that's what I assume). I hunt shiny and gigantamax pokemon for their looks and specialness, I couldn't care less whether they're actually inferior to their regular versions. Especially because in most battles you can't dynamax anyway and you're going to be using the undynamaxed version. Honestly, I just want to flex at NPCs and other players in max raid battles. 😂

what about "G-max alcreamie has all the calories"? "G-max alcreamie is the healthier carb-load" "G-max alcreamie has him whipped" I can do this all day. "G-max alcreamie is the sweeter flavor"

CD Warrior any cake pun would have been fine

Well it lasts for 4 turns instead if 5, but I agree. 1/6 damage per turn is huge especially in double battles, it's basically dealing 2/3 health pools worth of damage on two pokemon slots (except for enemy fire types), meaning that overall it does damage worth of over one enemy pokemon. An indeed, you'd run Torkoal or Ninetales along Charizard anyways, so who cares about Max Flare. With Coalossal and Volcalith it's even better, becuase Coalossal can also have Max Flare if you absolutely want to set a beneficial weather for it. And Sandstorm will also hurt friendly pokemon just as it will enemies (and the damage is only 1/16 instead of 1/6), unlike Volcalith.

True but Rest won't work again until it returns to normal size. But it is really formidable, I plan to experiment with it here soon

Max Phantasm is really useful for Dragapult though

@@user-jd5zt4of8q I said most.

@@MayHugger I know you did - but the issue is that special attackers don't need this move in order to be viable while Pokemon like Dragapult really need it due to the lack of physical Ghost moves

@@user-jd5zt4of8q Ok, but I still said most. Dragapult is only one Pokemon that benefits from the move being more physical.

@@MayHugger I know most Ghost type are special attackers, but I feel that the physical types that benefit from this move (like Dragapult, Mimikyu, Dhelmise, Giratina if it comes in D/P remakes etc.) derive far more benefit from it than special attackers would from a special defense drop, and so GF was right in making it a physical oriented move

The entry-hazard ones like Stonesurge are useless in raids though.

It's mostly singles vs. Doubles. Many amazing moves in doubles are useless in singles and vice versa.

But that doesnt exist yet

If ya gonna die first turn the fire spin is better

Yeah, because that's amazing when you're up against a Faster, Stronger Fire type. As opposed to having the ability to chip away at the rest of the enemy team.

Me the awesome guy It’s actually the grass fire battle combo

@@SteelPokeNinja It's similar in effect to that combo move, but I think it stacks separately.

It's not "eh" when your Toxtricity is hit by it, survives in 30 HP and it's suddenly fainted by that "cheap" Fire Spin. I'm pretty sure a Fire Spin wouldn't have taken 30 HP.

I still think Sun would be better you don't get a kill, it makes Chlorophyll live, it doubles fire moves Solar Beam is immediate etc.

@@rescuerex7031 honestly it all depends on the strategy and Ability of Charizard.

Wait, I thought that was the special thing about G Max Centiferno? Is Centiferno bad Wildfire? They do the same thing!

Hold up, Volcalith is also a damages over time move, but at least it's rock.

Alright, Centiferno is better than Wildfire, unless they have Flash Fire.

not only that rapid spin doesnt get rid of screens. I would much rather re set rocks and get rid of all the hazards on my side and the screens at the same time. Most 1v1 competitive players run defog and get rid of their own rocks at the same time just to re set them again later on anyways. Sometimes not even re setting their own depending on how the battle went.

Dmax/gmax mechanic is broken as is no thank you

Dude, they are getting banned from OU because of how broken their secondary abilities are. Making gmax moves even better would be horrible.

Austin Hurt nope

@@drewmto theyre factually correct

Lol

I caught my Shiny Gmax Drednaw with a Masterball and games it Koukai Nashi which also means no regrets

I caught a shiny lickitung with a master ball and I got an Own Tempo Rockruff (Shiny) I regret nothing

I have three Shiny Gmax Pokémon and caught them all in Master Balls. I named my Blastiose Aquafina, my Venusaur Bulbapedia, and my Charizard Leon.

I find you should have regrets

D-Max Charizard is Gyarados with access to Solar Power, what were they thinking?

KK

but if the pokemon doesnt faint and the opponent switched out, for example the burned boltund, the burn still stays on the boltund.

Why isn't this pinned?

Wildfire hits both enemy in doubles.

Yes

Itz Ya Game Ace I don’t have a dragonpault oof

@Zorro Sarkar The only way to get it is via it’s pre-evolutions, Dreepy or Drakloak, and those have the absurdly low spawn rate of 1% at the lake of outrage. So you can’t really be blamed if you didn’t actively try to search for one. I really wanted one so I went to the lake of outrage and within 5-10mins a Drakloak spawned at lvl60 so I just rare candied it once and it evolved into Dragapult. So if you do want a Dragapult, go to the lake of outrage and search until you find a Dreepy or Drakloak, and then get it to lvl60 to evolve it into Dragapult which should be easy because assuming you beat the game, all wild area spawns will be lvl60 so you will only have to rare candy it twice if it’s a Dreepy or once if it’s Drakloak. If you haven’t beaten the game, then well just add Dreepy/Drakloak to your party and wait for it to evolve. Note: To get to the lake of outrage you must have beaten Gordie/Melony and you’ll get the water bike on your way to Spikemuth, and then once you’ve got it you can go to Hammerlocke Hills and there will be a lake to the right, cross that lake to the big island (it’s really a peninsula but i’ll just say island for clarification) and in those patches of grass you should find Dreepy/Drakloak.

Its either the looks or capability cant win em both!

Machamp's Chi-Strike being stackable should have been mentioned as well. It's the only crit ratio booster in the game that can be stacked with itself. What you basically said about Pikacu, Eevee and Meowth, was that they are novelty G-Max forms. It doesn't matter what their move is, because you don't have them because they're good in battle, you have them because they're cool and unique. As for Drednaw, I agree that rocks are impactful (at least in single battles). But they are not so important that you should use your Dmax/Gmax for them. Stealth Rocks are usually set early on in the battle, while you certainly don't want to use your Dynamax/Gmax right away in a single battle, so the move is not very synergetic. And since Swift Swim can very potentially let you sweep a big chunk of the enemy team, it's too strong to pass just for an entry hazard that could be set without spending a valuable single use asset. Anyway, why is Drednaw's G-max move Water instead of Rock type, since it sets Stealth Rocks? If it was Rock, it would be really synergising with Swift Swim, since it would enable you to use your second STAB while Gmaxed without changing the weather. Swift Swim Drednaw is a scary sweeper in singles, but using Max Rockfall is usually a bit problematic. In double battles, I guess Gmax Drednaw might be a bit better than regular, since you'll be setting the rain with Pelipper or Politoed anyway and thus wouldn't really care about the effect of Max Geyser. In doubles it's also much more common to Dmax right at the start, so you could get a bit of benefit from the rocks that you wouldn't otherwise be setting, because they are not that impactful on doubles. really could screw up a player that has for example a Charizard on the back, and most likely isn't prepared with boots, defog or rapid spin. But the effect would be generally quite weak compared to something like Volcalith or Wildfire, which are great in double battles.

@@wombat4191 if you’re using Drednaw on your team that means you are probably already using Peliper or Politoed which auto sets up rain, you don’t need to use one of Drednaws Dynamax turns to set up rain if its already set up, even in Singles where Peliper is used a lot. Being able to set up pretty much uncontested Rocks later in the game if they’ve been removed via Rapid spin or Defog is very nice utility. Especially if you’re able to attack for huge damage, potentially grabbing a KO, while setting them.

In most Showdown matches, a player will have to make one or two prediction-calls. Do I keep Quagsire in and hope they go for a Water-type move to trigger my ability "Water Absorb"? Or do I switch to Abomisnow in anticipation of a Grass-type move? If a player doesn't switch out to a better option, we have three applicable reasons: Either the better option was defeated quickly, the player didn't anticipate this counter, or the player isn't experienced enough to recognize the utility there is in switching.

Spikes aren't Steel Stealth Rocks. Spikes don't take into account type effectiveness, while GMax Copperajah's do
