Gigantamax Grimmsnarl debuts on Nov 7th!
Grimmsnarl is a Dark type Gmax move user, has good attack stat and valuable resistances (2x – Dark Psychic Dragon, 1x – Ghost), has 0.5s fast moves. Both Dark & Ghost does Super effective on Ghost & Psychic types, which puts Grimmsnarl against Gmax Gengar who does around 14% more Damage (Except Normal/Ghost, Normal/Psychic typings). So, it ultimately comes down to Availability and Preference.
As a Gmax Boss, Grimmsnarl has Attack stat identical to Gmax Charizard, Defense Stat is lower than Gmax Gengar (Grimmsnarl’s Bulk comes from HP) & HP gets replaced in Typical Gmax Battles style. On boss moves, watch out for Power-up Punch (2s cooldown) which does neutral to most counters & Play Rough with 90 Power.
🌓 Zacian Crowned Sword is the #1 Attacker by a distance, without DYNAMAX CANNON effect. Both SwSh Dogs don’t get the Eternatus’ Adventure effect. Therefore, with it, Dmax Metagross & Excadrill inches past Zacian in neutral Weather.
🌓 Dmax & Gmax get roughly 22% & 18% attack boost through DYNAMAX CANNON adventure effect, so in Cloudy Weather, with the effect, Dmax Hatterene, Gmax Garbodor & Dmax Gardevoir (available for Wild Area: Global) might be superior.
🌓 Ranking Zacian as #1 because 2 Kyurems’ or 2 Origin Formes’ Adventure effect may be preferred for the Event.
🌓 Hero Duo are the recommended tanks as they resist most moves. Dmax Blissey is our best generalist Tank 🪖 & one of our 4 viable Healers (Gmax Snorlax, Dmax Wailord, Gmax Lapras). Lapras and Normal types needs to watch out for Power-up Punch.
Other than the listed Pokémon,
🌓 Dmax Toxtricity (Poison Jab), Dmax Kingler (Metal Claw) & Gmax Inteleon are decent attackers.
🌓 Gengar 3x resists Fighting, Grimmsnarl 2x resists Dark, they both can work in tandem with recommended Tanks for absorbing the specific moves.
All the Best! 😊🙌
