The optimal subgroup runs 2 attackers + 1 defender + 1 healer. Defenders filtered to picks that resist Steel/Psychic-type damage; healers ranked by raw HP pool. Full team-building guide →
Soaks boss hits + generates Max-meter energy. Pair with a 0.5s fast move.
- FightingSteel
The premier Max Battle defender — Fighting/Steel typing resists 10 types (more than any other defender), and the Crowned Shield form has the highest defense stat in the format. Pairs with Counter for fast Max-meter generation.
FAST Counter
- Steel
Pure Steel typing resists 11 types — strongest passive defense in the format. Pair with Thunder Shock (short fast move) to flood the Max meter. The G-Max boost to HP makes it survive even Fighting / Fire / Ground hits.
FAST Thunder Shock
- FairySteel
Same Fairy/Steel double-typing as the Crowned Shield form (resists 11 types) but with a higher Attack stat — doubles as an emergency Max attacker once it Dynamaxes. Best universal defender if you only have one slot.
FAST Quick Attack
Casts Max Spirit during the Max Phase. Heals as a % of teammates' max HP.
- #1BlisseyNormal
The #1 healer in Max Battles. Maxes out at 496 base stamina (the highest in the game) — Max Spirit casts can full-heal a team from near-faint in 2-3 uses. Easy to find via raid-day rotations and chains from Happiny Egg hatches.
FAST Pound
- #2WailordWater
Second-best healer behind Blissey — 347 base stamina. Water typing makes it a passable defender against Fire / Ground bosses too, doubling its utility on those teams.
FAST Water Gun
- #3SnorlaxNormal
High HP (330 base) + universally available — most trainers have Snorlax candy stockpiled. Works as both a healer and a Normal-type damage soak.
