As a long-time Pokémon GO player, I’ve noticed that the addition of Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon has really shaken things up – it’s a cool change, but definitely adds another level of complexity to the game! Honestly, it’s easy to see why newer players, or even those of us returning after a break, get a little mixed up trying to figure out the difference between Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon.
Hey fellow trainers! I’ve put together a guide breaking down all the different Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon. I’ve ranked them based on how strong their Max Moves are, their stats, what roles they’re best at, and something called TDO. Basically, I’m trying to figure out which of these big Pokemon are going to be the top picks for battling in Pokemon GO for a long time to come. And don’t worry, I’ll keep updating this as new Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon get released in the game!
Pokemon GO Dynamax & Gigantamax Tier List
Let’s start by explaining how Pokémon are ranked. They range from S-class (the best) to D-class (the lowest). A plus sign (+) next to a Pokémon’s name means it could be even stronger or more useful than its ranking suggests, even if it’s already at the top.
Pokémon are ranked based on their highest possible attack power, and each listing shows the best moves they can learn, along with their maximum stats when fully trained. Now, let’s explore the most powerful Dynamax and Gigantamax forms!
When Pokémon Dynamax, they become much larger and more powerful, but still look like their original selves. Gigantamax Pokémon go even further – they grow in size and power, and change their appearance, gaining a special G-Max Move as well.
S-Tier Dynamax Pokemon
The Pokémon listed below are top-tier choices for Dynamax and Gigantamax Raids, and are currently the most popular and effective options players are using.
| Pokemon | Role | Stats | Best Moveset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crowned Sword Zacian (+) | Attacker | 5629 CP – 332 ATK – 240 DEF – 192 HP | Metal Claw / Behemot Blade |
| Crowned Shield Zamazenta (+) | Tank | 4717 CP – 250 ATK – 292 DEF – 192 HP | Metal Claw / Behemot Bash |
| Gigantamax Inteleon | Attacker | 3351 CP – 262 ATK – 142 DEF – 172 HP | Pound/ G-Max Hydrosnipe |
| Gigantamax Rillaboom | Bulky Attacker | 3758 CP – 239 ATK – 168 DEF – 225 – HP | Scratch / G-Max Drum Solo |
| Gigantamax Cinderace | Attacker | 3412 CP – 238 ATK – 163 DEF – 190 HP | Fire Spin / G-Max Fireball |
| Gigantamax Gengar | Attacker | 3254 CP – 261 ATK – 149 DEF – 155 HP | Lick / G- Max Terror |
| Gigantamax Charizard | Attacker | 3266 CP – 223 ATK – 173 DEF – 186 HP | Wing Attack / G-Max Wildfire |

| Dynamax Excadrill | Attacker | 3667 CP – 255 ATK – 129 DEF – 242 HP | Metal Claw / Scorching Sands |
- Theoretically speaking, Eternamax Eternatus would be the strongest Pokemon of the Dragon-type, and also the strongest Dynamax form in the game. Sadly, this Pokemon is impossible to collect, since it was only an Event Boss during the Pokemon GO Fest: Max Finale Event.
A- Tier Dynamax Pokemon
Generally, Pokémon that reach A-Tier when Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed are good choices and don’t cost much to build a team around. This is especially true for Pokémon that also have alternate forms or Mega Evolutions.

|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamax Blissey | Tank | 3117 CP – 129 ATK – 169 DEF – 496 HP | Pound / Psychic |

B- Tier Dynamax Pokemon
While B-Tier Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokémon can be useful in Raids, players should carefully consider their roles. Some of these Pokémon are powerful attackers but fragile, and their support or tanking abilities aren’t as strong as those found in the A and S Tiers.

|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamax Raikou | Attacker | 3902 CP – 241 ATK – 195 DEF – 207 HP | Thundershock / Aura Sphere |

| Dynamax Unfezant | Support | 3091 CP – 226 ATK – 146 DEF – 190 HP | Air Slash / Sky Attack |
C- Tier Dynamax Pokemon
In Pokemon GO Dynamax Raids, C-Tier Pokemon are generally considered weak choices. However, some like Articuno, Suicune, and Tsareena can still be useful in other ways. It’s best not to spend a lot of Stardust and Candies trying to power them up.
| Pokemon | Role | Stats | Best Moveset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamax Tsareena | Attacker | 3351 CP – 222 ATK – 195 DEF – 176 HP | Magical Leaf / Grass Knot |
| Dynamax Suicune | Bulky Attacker | 3372 CP – 180 ATK – 235 DEF – 225 HP | Water Gun / Hydro Pump |
| Dynamax Articuno | Attacker | 3450 CP – 192 ATK – 236 DEF – 207 HP | Frost Breath / Triple Axel |
| Dynamax Falinks | Attacker | 2665 CP – 193 ATK – 170 DEF – 163 HP | Counter / Superpower |
| Gigantamax Butterfree | Attacker | 2065 CP – 167 ATK – 137 DEF – 155 HP | Bug Bite / G-Max Befuddle |
D-Tier Dynamax Pokemon
D-Tier Dynaamx Pokemon aren’t very good and generally shouldn’t be used in battles. It’s not worth spending resources like Stardust and Candy to power them up.
| Pokemon | Role | Stats | Best Moveset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamax Butterfree | Attacker | 2065 CP – 167 ATK – 137 DEF – 155 HP | Bug Bite / Bug Buzz |
| Dynamax Cryogonal | Support | 3163 CP – 190 ATK – 218 DEF – 190 HP | Frost Breath / Triple Axel |
| Dynamax Sableye | Attacker | 1668 CP – 141 ATK – 136 DEF – 137 HP | Shadow Claw / Foul Play |
| Dynamax Greedent | Tank | 2679 CP – 160 ATK – 156 DEF – 260 HP | Tackle / Body Slam |
| Dynamax Garbodor | Attacker | 2651 CP – 181 ATK – 164 DEF – 190 HP | Infestation / Gunk Shot |
| Dynamax Dubwool | Support | 2478 CP – 159 ATK – 198 DEF – 175 HP | Tackle / Wild Charge |
