Dynamax bosses
8 curated Max Battle bosses with counter teams, Max Move data, and a tier list. Per-boss pages rank attackers by DPS into best / no-legendary / low-budget rows so you can build a team that matches what's actually in your storage.
These Max Battle bosses are featured in-game right now. Tap any card for the full counter teams.
Showing 8 Water-type bosses.
Mid-tier raids — 2-3 trainers typical. Most fights resolve in one Dynamax phase if you bring a type-advantaged team.
High-tier raids — 4+ trainers recommended. Bring the best you have and coordinate Max Move timing.
Gigantamax-exclusive bosses with G-Max moves. Highest difficulty in the format — full 4-trainer lobbies and meta attackers.
Gigantamax Blastoise
Gigantamax Blastoise hasn't shipped with a G-Max-exclusive move in-game yet — fights as a high-HP Dynamax Blastoise. Bring electric attackers.
Gigantamax Drednaw
G-Max Stonesurge spikes the field — chip damage on switch-ins. Same quad-weakness to Grass + Electric as the regular Dynamax form.
Gigantamax Inteleon
G-Max Hydrosnipe ignores stat changes — sniper-style Water attacker that bypasses defensive buffs.
Gigantamax Kingler
G-Max Foam Burst drops your team's speed — bring high-DPS Grass + Electric attackers that don't rely on rapid charged-move cycling.
Gigantamax Lapras
G-Max Resonance halves incoming damage with Aurora Veil — long fight. Quad-weak to Rock + Fighting via the Ice typing. Bring Tyranitar or a Fighting Mega.
