Pokémon Go Gigantamax Machamp: How To Fight With It?
On Gigantamax Machamp Max Battle Day on the afternoon of May 25th, Gigantamax Machamp will be online. It has powerful attack power, so it takes a certain amount of coordination to defeat it.
This event follows Machop Community Day on May 24th, and players need to stock up on Machop Candy in advance.
This challenge may be difficult because Gigantamax Machamp is a very aggressive opponent, and its weaknesses are not yet known. You can only choose the right Pokémon to fight based on some existing guesses.
The following will introduce how to choose Pokémon to fight Gigantamax Machamp in terms of attack, defense, and treatment, as well as Fast Move that each Pokémon needs to choose.
Attacks
- Charizard Dynamax: Zen Headbutt
- Metagross Dynamax: Wing Attack
- Moltres Dynamax: Wing Attack
- Unfezant Dynamax: Air Slash
- Gigantamax Gengar or Dynamax: Lick
- Gigantamax Toxtricity or Dynamax: Spark
- Charizard or Dynamax: Fire Spin
The best choice is Charizard Dynamax, especially if you have Fast Move Wing Attack, which can cause super damage to Gigantamax Machamp, or Metagross Dynamax’s Psychic-type attacks can also cause heavy damage to the enemy.
Gigantamax Gengar, Toxtricity and Charizard can also restrain Gigantamax Machamp, but the effect is not as obvious as the other ones.
Defense
- Gigantamax Blastoise: Water Gun
- Gigantamax Venusaur: Tackle
- Rillaboom Dynamax: Scratch
- Gigantamax Charizard: Fire Spin
- Blissey Dynamax: Pound
Machamp is a single Fighting type monster. Most defenses cannot withstand its attacks. Blissey Dynamax is usually selected for defense, but it will be severely damaged in the melee, so we have to think carefully if Machamp has melee moves. We may need to re-select.
Healing
- Gigantamax Blastoise: Water Gun
- Metagross Dynamax: Psychic
- Gigantamax Lapras: Water Gun
- Gigantamax Venusaur: Vine Whip
- Blissey Dynamax: Pound
Since Machamp has strong attack power and Pokémon that may defend cannot resist the attack well, it is very important to choose a healer. Metagross Dynamax is recommended here, which can be used as a healer and an excellent attacker at the same time.
Team Tips
In addition to how to choose Pokémon, there are some other team skills to help you complete the battle.
- Assign teammates roles: Gigantamax Battles can have 40 Trainers fighting at the same time. These 40 people are divided into 10 groups. Choose the roles of the Trainers in each group reasonably. For example, in each group of 4 people, 2 people are responsible for attacking, and the remaining two people are 1 defense and 1 treatment.
- Protect output teammates: Pay attention to the role of defense and treatment, and protect the attackers in the team to continuously output damage. This is crucial.
- Switch Pokémon in time: Try to switch out Pokémon that can cause super damage to the target as soon as possible, before Dynamaxing, to maximize the damage.
- Try to use fast moves: Use fast moves frequently to accumulate Dynamax meter, because using charge move will reduce DPS per second, and max move will cause higher damage, so try to use fast moves frequently.
- Upgrade your Pokémon: Use Pokémon Go PokeCoins to upgrade Pokemon according to the team situation, making it easier to complete challenges with teammates.
This challenge requires teamwork and is very difficult. Even a team of four may fail, so you must carefully choose the right Pokémon and everyone on the team must play their role to meet this challenge.
