Pokemon GO Dynamax Toxtricity Max Battle best counters

To optimize your chances of defeating Pokemon GO Dynamax Toxtricity, consider using the following best counters. These Pokemon can withstand Toxtricity’s attacks while capitalizing on its vulnerabilities.

• Dynamax Greedent with Mud Shot (for Max Quake), Crunch, or Body Slam
• Dynamax Metagross with Zen Headbutt (for Max Mindstorm), Earthquake or Psychic
• Dynamax Excadrill with Mud-Slap (for Max Quake), Scorching Sands

For trainers without these specific Pokemon, other powerful options with bulk and neutral damage can still be helpful. Here are some solid alternatives:
