What is super-effective against Gigantamax Blastoise?

Gigantamax Blastoise is a mono-Water-type Pocket Monster that takes super-effective damage from Grass- and Electric-type attacks. You should try to use creatures with both STAB Fast and Charged attacks of these types. However, if you don't have such options, go with creatures with Grass- and Electric-type Fast Attacks as those will turn into Max Moves, dealing a big chunk of damage.

The following Max Moves are super-effective against Gigantamax Blastoise Max Battles in Pokemon GO:

• Max Overgrowth
• Max Lightning

​

As of October 2024, Max Lightning is not accessible as none of the presently available Dynmax 'mons can use Electric-type Fast Attacks.
