Should you use charged attacks in Max Battles?

In Pokémon GO Max Battles, the general consensus is to avoid using charged attacks in the initial phase to fill the Max Meter faster and avoid triggering boss attacks, focusing on fast attacks instead; however, some advanced strategies suggest using a charged move just as the meter fills for a DPS boost if timed perfectly, especially in smaller groups, but it's risky as it can slow you down or lead to taking extra hits if mis-timed, making fast attacks the safer, primary choice.

Should I use charged moves in Dynamax battles?

No, you generally should avoid using charged attacks in the initial phase of Dynamax/Gigantamax raids in Pokémon Go; stick to fast attacks to fill the Dynamax bar faster, as charged moves take too long and the powerful Max Moves used after Dynamaxing deal significantly more damage, making early charged attacks inefficient and slowing down the battle for everyone. Use only fast attacks (especially quick 0.5-second ones) and dodge until the bar is full, then unleash your powerful Max Moves.

Which Pokémon should you use Charged TM on?

Use Charged TMs on fully evolved, high-IV Pokémon for raid/PvP attackers, especially legendaries like Groudon, Kyogre, Mewtwo (Psycho Cut/Psystrike/Shadow Ball), Metagross (Meteor Mash), or PvP staples like Swampert, Machamp, Dragonite (Dragon Claw) to get powerful, same-type (STAB) moves or specific legacy/Community Day moves, prioritizing Pokémon with high damage potential or niche utility you need. Save Elite Charged TMs for truly essential, rare legacy moves like Meteor Mash on Metagross or Psystrike on Mewtwo.

How to Properly Dodge Max Battle Attacks in Pokemon GO

Which is better, Fast TM or Charged TM?

In Pokémon GO, Fast TMs change a Pokémon's basic, tapping attack (Fast Move), while Charged TMs change its powerful, energy-based attack (Charged Move). Both normally randomize the move within the Pokémon's pool, but Elite TMs (Fast or Charged) let you choose the exact move, including rare Legacy moves from events, making them far more valuable and rare than regular TMs.

Is charge a good move in Pokémon?

"Charge" is generally considered a weak, niche move in main series Pokémon games, as it takes two turns to boost an Electric-type move's power and defense, often outclassed by just attacking twice; however, it has situational uses, like with the Serene Grace ability or for specific setups, while in Pokémon GO, "Charged Moves" (like Wild Charge, Thunderbolt) are crucial, powerful attacks, distinct from the status move "Charge".

Can I trick Pokémon GO into thinking I'm walking?

Yes, you can trick Pokémon Go into thinking you're walking using methods like GPS spoofing apps (iAnyGo, AnyTo) with virtual joysticks or by shaking your phone in a sock, which plays on GPS/Adventure Sync inaccuracies, but these can violate terms of service; official methods focus on using Adventure Sync for real steps, while non-walking tricks use location manipulation or device shaking for buddy candy and egg hatching.

How to get better at dynamax battles?

To win Dynamax battles, focus on quickly charging your Max Meter with fast moves from resistant Pokémon (like Blissey with Pound or Excadrill with Mud Shot) to unleash powerful Max Moves or Gigantamax forms, while also dodging incoming attacks when the "incoming attack" warning appears to reduce damage, and using status moves like Charm or Snarl to weaken the boss. Your primary goal is to overwhelm the opponent before they can use their massive Dynamax/Gigantamax power or survive their attacks by using tanks and healing effectively.

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.

Other contenders include Uxie (outclassed by Cresselia) and sometimes Regigigas (crippled by its Slow Start ability), depending on whether "weak" means low stats or poor competitive viability despite high stats, according to users on Pokemon forums and databases.
