Pokemon GO Dynamax & Gigantamax Tier List Guide

By newsgame

In Pokemon GO, the Dynamax/Gigantamax phenomenon has greatly changed the way players collect and battle with Pokemon, and that adds another layer of complexity to this already huge mobile game. So, it is no wonder that new players or returning veterans are a bit confused when comparing Dynamax and Gigantamax species.

In this guide, players will find a comparative analysis between the different Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon, which are classified in Tiers according to their Max Moves Power, Stats, Best Roles, and TDO. These factors are key to defining which of these Pokemon will remain in the rankings and become meta picks for PvE for the foreseeable future. This guide will be updated accordingly as new Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon debut in Pokemon GO.

All Gigantamax Pokemon in Pokemon GO

Gigantamax Pokemon can be a great help in Max Raids, but which ones can you catch in Pokemon GO?

Pokemon GO Dynamax & Gigantamax Tier List

Let’s begin this analysis with an explanation on this classification. Ranks go from S (Superior) to D (the lowest of the ranking) and a Plus (+) marking next to the Pokemon name means this Pokemon might be considered as a bit higher depending on the circumstances, or that it has even more utility despite being on the maximum ranking.

Stats are graded according to Max Move Power, and each entry includes the best moveset for said Pokemon, and max stat values at 100& (Perfect IVs). So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the strongest Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon.

Dynamax Pokemon have their overall stats and size greatly boosted, though they retain their original forms. Meanwhile, Gigantamax Pokemon not only gain more power, stats, and size, but also acquire a new form and gain a G-Max Move.

S-Tier Dynamax Pokemon

The Pokemon listed below are considered S-Tier in terms of utility in Dynamax/Gigantamax Raids, and are some of the preferred picks of the current meta.

Pokemon	Role	Stats	Best Moveset
Crowned Sword Zacian (+)	Attacker	5629 CP – 332 ATK – 240 DEF – 192 HP	Metal Claw / Behemot Blade
Crowned Shield Zamazenta (+)	Tank	4717 CP – 250 ATK – 292 DEF – 192 HP	Metal Claw / Behemot Bash
Gigantamax Inteleon	Attacker	3351 CP – 262 ATK – 142 DEF – 172 HP	Pound/ G-Max Hydrosnipe
Gigantamax Rillaboom	Bulky Attacker	3758 CP – 239 ATK – 168 DEF – 225 – HP	Scratch / G-Max Drum Solo
Gigantamax Cinderace	Attacker	3412 CP – 238 ATK – 163 DEF – 190 HP	Fire Spin / G-Max Fireball
Gigantamax Gengar	Attacker	3254 CP – 261 ATK – 149 DEF – 155 HP	Lick / G- Max Terror
Gigantamax Charizard	Attacker	3266 CP – 223 ATK – 173 DEF – 186 HP	Wing Attack / G-Max Wildfire

Dynamax Excadrill	Attacker	3667 CP – 255 ATK – 129 DEF – 242 HP	Metal Claw / Scorching Sands

Theoretically speaking, Eternamax Eternatus would be the strongest Pokemon of the Dragon-type, and also the strongest Dynamax form in the game. Sadly, this Pokemon is impossible to collect, since it was only an Event Boss during the Pokemon GO Fest: Max Finale Event.
