Is Gigantamax blastoise good?

Gigantamax Blastoise is good primarily as a tank in Pokémon Go Max Battles due to its high defense, not as the top attacker, though its G-Max Cannonade offers decent damage and chip damage in raids; it's outclassed offensively by G-Max Inteleon but serves a strong defensive role, especially with fast moves like Bite or Water Gun. In main series games, its signature G-Max move, G-Max Cannonade, provides chip damage over turns, making it a solid support or bulky attacker, though often overshadowed by other options in competitive play.

Is Dynamax or Gigantamax better?

Gigantamax is generally better for raw power due to stronger, unique G-Max moves and higher attack potential in games like Pokémon Go, but standard Dynamax offers flexibility with normal Max Moves (weather, terrain changes) and access to different types, making Dynamax strategic when a specific G-Max isn't available or when needing varied move coverage. Gigantamax changes appearance and has a special move; Dynamax only changes size but keeps typing and standard Max Moves, so the "better" choice depends on whether you need a powerful G-Max form or a flexible, standard Dynamax.

Is Blastoise better than Charizard?

In a direct type matchup, Blastoise is stronger against Charizard due to its Water typing resisting Charizard's Fire attacks and hitting super-effectively with its own Water moves, often leading to a quick win in games; however, Charizard's Flying typing gives it an advantage over Grass types like Venusaur, and Charizard's strong offensive presence and Mega Evolutions make it a popular choice, while Blastoise offers solid defense and utility, so "strength" depends on the scenario (type advantage, competitive role, or Mega Evolution).

Mega Blastoise is situationally good: great for boosting other Water-types in Pokémon Go raids (PvE), providing valuable team support, but generally outclassed as a pure attacker in competitive singles unless running specific setups like Shell Smash in certain formats where it's surprisingly strong (banned to Ubers in some competitive tiers due to power!).
